You’re seeking psychotherapy or psychoanalysis because you're in the midst of, or wanting to make, a big change. Maybe you’re facing a decision about a life path, or your body is changing due to age, illness, pregnancy, gender transition, disability, or something else. Maybe you hope to shift your relationship to money, love and work. Maybe you’re needing a new perspective on an old habit, or you need help articulating yourself and disentangling mixed messages. You may be ready for something new in work, relationships, your self-esteem, or something else, and you are hoping that talking things through with someone could help you.
Let's work together to understand your creative blocks, find out why relationships can feel conflictual and draining, how (and whether) to have that hard conversation with your parents/partner, discover and understand your needs, set boundaries for self-care, feel close to others, begin to trust yourself and interrupt that critical inner voice.
If you're looking for a thoughtful, direct, and approachable therapist, call me. I aim to dive deep and build a solid clinical relationship with clients which allows for freedom in our thinking together, undoing the rigid expectations you have for yourself, and living a more creative and authentic life.

Through dynamic talk therapy and psychoanalysis, we can go beyond "behavior change" and into what's alive underneath your surface. As we work together, you may discover that whatever you believe are "problem behaviors" are an attempt at trying to (re)solve something else, something older, beneath the surface. Even when things feel impossible, there is always a spark, somewhere.
