The treatment I offer is psychoanalytic talk therapy which allows me to hear what you are saying directly and beneath the surface.
I’ve helped adults and adolescents with their emotional issues that show up in many ways: relationship problems, feelings of anger, anxiety or depression that may seem unchangeable, difficulties with work or school performance, or simply feeling stuck. Creating a therapeutic alliance with my patients is a priority. It allows deeper self-awareness and emotional freedom to develop which can effect lasting changes, improve and enrich their lives, and lessen symptoms.

This constant anxiety, followed by crippling bouts of depression, is preventing you from living your life. Even on good days, your negative self-talk beats you into a sleepy paralysis. Everyone can be hard on themselves, but your mind has become downright violent. It’s exhausting trying to anticipate when it will strike next. You can’t trust your own thoughts. It’s obvious that your painful past isn’t going away on its own. It takes all you’ve got to get through the day. And most days it takes more than that. Stuck in a vicious cycle with no end in sight, you know you can’t handle this alone anymore. But what choice do you have?

You spend the majority of your days just going through the motions in your life; feeling disconnected, unmotivated, or unfulfilled at work, at home, or in your relationships. You watch time pass and wish that you could have a life filled with more peace, fulfillment, joy or security...but you don’t know where to start. To the outside world, your life might appear to be okay, but for you, something just doesn’t feel right. You push yourself to do better, be better, but inside, you battle with a voice in your head that tells you it's not enough. At times, you feel like you’re barely holding it all together.

Client needs are my FIRST priority. I am a specialist in evidence-based treatments (EBT), which radically improves my client's success rates, increases effectiveness of treatment, and gets results quickly. The majority of my client's report improvements, within the first session: life-functioning (work- home-school-relationships) and report immediate reduction in symptoms. Reducing anxiety/panic, decreasing depression, developing stronger coping strategies to stress and balancing mood dysregulation are my specialty, as symptoms can result from adjustment challenges to sudden life changes: parenthood/divorce/grief/college. We collaborate on thinking traps, tracking triggers, modifying behavior, successful coping skills and strengthening resiliency.

Welcome! I specialize in working with adult children of (and/or partners to) narcissists and the emotionally immature/abusive/unavailable. My clients say they’re relieved to have found a therapist who "gets" them. I am ready to "get" and care for you, too. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-worth, self-doubt/blame, shame, guilt, a sense of obligation? Are you an expert "people pleaser" because you had to be? Did you receive attention, love, acceptance based on certain conditions? Did you experience controlling behavior and/or inconsistency/instability that felt unsafe? Is it hard to advocate for yourself? I get it.

As life begins and we transition through the phases of adolescence into adulthood, our minds begin to develop perspectives, personality characteristics, or a personally derived set of rules governing how we live or who we are as individuals. In relation, the mind develops cognitive scars that require nurturing based on your past experiences or observed experiences. These manifestations of life circumstances can then transition into symptoms related to Anxiety, Depression, Personality Disorders, Trauma Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Interpersonal Struggles and so much more.

With over 23 years of experience, I work compassionately with individuals to help alleviate the painful symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, trauma, and loss. Life transitions and events including relationship issues, college, marriage, childbirth, divorce, death of a loved one, chronic illness, and retirement present new challenges and often touch upon unresolved past issues as well. Working collaboratively with clients through insight oriented psychotherapy, I can help to enhance one's ability to make desired life changes, and to provide a greater sense of well being overall.

You want to find peace, but the critical noise of “it’s just not good enough” controls and weighs you down. There’s a part of you that’s a high achiever with perfectionistic tendencies that feels exhausted and overwhelmed, riddled with self-doubt. The days go by in a flash as you strive to please and meet others: expectations, wants, and needs, while you’ve lost sight of your own. The present moment feels out of reach as you constantly think into the future or ruminate over the past.

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.
