Trauma leaves you feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from yourself and your loved ones. Deep down you are struggling to manage your intense emotions. You tear yourself apart when you mess up. You may feel shameful and guilty with no space left for joy. You know when you try to relax all the thoughts and memories come rushing in. Some nights it might feel like there’s a DVD playing your most painful memories and it feels unsafe. You want to hide and can’t trust anyone. You judge yourself. You see the world around you is handling things much better than you. You ask yourself “Why can't I be normal, why can’t I get over it".

We all suffer, and we all have to cope with it. I can help relieve people of suffering caused by maladaptive patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving that they have been conditioned to repeat over time. I do this by building a relationship with them, then allowing that relationship to be the template for healthy interactions in life and a realistic perception of themselves and their situation.

I am truly passionate about supporting individuals with finding their purpose in life. I believe that, at times, our trauma and mental health can truly deter us from finding or reaching our full potential. In my opinion, every individual is unique and can achieve the happiness they desire if they are able to foster a healthier relationship with themselves. I enjoy supporting my clients while assisting them along on their journey to find healing and peace. I find that sometimes what we dislike most about ourselves is usually what empowers us to become stronger and more resilient as human beings.

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.

I see adults, both male and female, and teens 15 and above. My underlying treatment philosophy is psychodynamic. However, I view my mission as being here to help my clients in whatever way is effective for them. In that sense, I am eclectic, because everyone is individual. What works for one won't necessarily work for another. I believe that therapy is collaborative between the client and therapist, and is based on trust, and through that relationship is where positive results happen.

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.
