We all struggle with the difficult experiences life presents, experiences that are linked to life’s pleasures and joys. We can face loneliness and loss, feelings of unworthiness, unexpected changes and the stress that comes with demanding circumstances. I work with adults suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, difficulties in work or school, feelings of being without meaning or purpose, feeling alone, and other forms of psychological pain. My goal is to provide a safe and nonjudgmental environment to explore, find meaning, connect more deeply with others, and reconnect with the deepest parts of yourself.
I am a psychologist with over 35 years of experience specializing in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I aim to help you examine yourself in a collaborative, caring, non-judgmental atmosphere that encourages honesty, understanding, and promotes self exploration, greater emotional intimacy, self-reflective awareness, and self-acceptance.
I work collaboratively; we will work together to provide you relief from anxiety, skills to manage difficult situations, clarity around your wishes and needs, and help in developing greater intimacy while enabling you to set boundaries that enhance self-expression and self-definition. If this approach makes sense to you, feel free to reach out to me.
