It takes a lot of courage to seek help, especially in a world that unfairly stigmatizes getting psychological services. Lack of understanding of what therapy is and how people can benefit from it prevents some from using professional services to know and understand themselves better, to improve relationships, and to live more meaningful, fulfilling lives regardless of their challenges. Sometimes people have troubling symptoms due to anxiety, depression, and other disorders and need help to address these symptoms and their causes. I use a variety of approaches to help clients.

Psychoanalytic treatment can give people an opportunity to reflect upon the choices they have made given the assumptions they have held about themselves.
Many people have areas in their lives that have been a source of emotional pain and struggle for them, frequently life-long. These struggles have often led to painful symptoms of sadness, anxiety and depression. These symptoms can often impact and impair the enjoyment of important relationships and achieving successful careers.

Education/Experience: BA Anthropology, summa cum laude, Princeton University; MSW Clinical Social Work, Smith College; Supervision Certificate, Washington School of Psychiatry; Psychoanalytic Studies/ Psychoanalyst in Training, Washington Baltimore Center for Psychoanalysis; Past President, American Association for Psychoanalysis in Clinical Social Work.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy has the capacity to change us deeply. But it can also be subtle: allowing for a sense of "staying the same while changing," as we hold onto the parts of ourselves we value, while better understanding those parts that may be getting in the way. I work from the belief that meaningful and lasting change occurs in the context of relationships - including the relationship between therapist and patient. People come to me with painful relationships, difficult family dynamics, uncomfortable mood or anxiety symptoms, a general feeling that something isn't right, or the desire to simply know themselves better.

My training is primarily psychodynamic and psychoanalytic, but I will always collaborate with you to determine what you need at this particular moment.
In these unsettling times, it can be all too easy to revert to the comfort of the familiar. But before you act reflexively, ask yourself whether you can imagine acting reflectively and with intention. Our work together will encourage you to examine your automatic beliefs and default settings and question whether old patterns are serving you well. Experimenting with fresh approaches to challenging situations often leads to surprising new outcomes and allows you to reshape the narrative you carry about yourself, which in turn may shift your relationships with others.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
