from The New School, completed DBT training with Behavioral Tech, finished fellowships at Mt Sinai and Columbia, and received my psychoanalytic certificate from WAWI.
Welcome. I would like to help you take the next step to improve the quality of your life. This might be the next step from a position where you feel locked in self-defeating patterns, the next step in facing something from your past, or the next step in addressing feelings and moods that diminish your engagement with life. The process of taking the next step itself can be concerning -- each part, from contemplation to action, deserves care and attention. I hope you will allow me to help you take this courageous next step.

One way I've been able to help people is to assist them in preventing things in their life from getting worse and at the same time, helping them to overcome the obstacles in order to make things better.

Using a psychoanalytic lens, my approach is to support you as you create the space for the change you need.
Navigating life’s circumstances can be complicated and challenging. Although we must find the strength to get past the roadblocks in our lives, we don’t have to do it alone. Therapy can help us get to know ourselves so that we can find new ways to respond when the pressure of modern living becomes too much. My aim as a therapist is to partner with you on a journey of self-discovery so that you can find satisfaction and thrive. I believe therapy can help us uncover subtle beliefs and patterns that shape our daily experiences. With greater awareness, we gain the tools to enact positive change and remodel relationships.

Psychoanalytic therapy can often appear old fashioned today. Who has the time to speak? Psychoanalytic therapy is often sought out after attempts at medication and lifestyle changes have proved frustrating. Its wager on how to deal with these frustrations is simple: through an invitation to speak.

Using a psychoanalytic lens, we will follow conscious thoughts to unconscious wishes.
The source of your discomfort may seem obvious or feel out of reach. Whatever the case, exploring your experience has the power to be revealing and, in that way, transformative. My aim as a therapist is to together gain a better understanding of who you are and why you are — of your patterns, instincts, desires. Through this process we will challenge fixed ideas and, in doing so, build out a larger picture of your life and you within it.

I've been practicing psychotherapy since 1982 integrating both psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral perspectives.
The psychotherapy journey can ultimately lead to the enhancement of conflict-free thinking and behavior which in turn can contribute to a more satisfying life.

You have probably also realized that self-help books and do-it-yourself approaches have been insufficient ways of getting to the roots of your difficulties. You are probably experiencing emotional pain and feel dissatisfied with aspects of your life, such as work and relationships. You are motivated to make changes. You might even have realized that your difficulties are recurring and you might even have identified some patterns underlying your difficulties and choices.

My basic training is psychoanalytic but an overall integrative approach fosters understanding of how life has shaped a person, and how it plays out in current living situations, how one’s strengths can be brought to good use.
With over thirty years experience, meeting with people of all ages, I’ve learned much from others. I favor in-depth relational psychotherapy, with a particular interest in people who struggle with grief and complicated grief (unresolved or traumatic grief that can stand in the way of functioning). Having worked with children, I know there is the child in everyone - and it has given me insight into adults (who began as children) and family dynamics. I have also especially focused on the problem of shyness.

I work with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds, addressing concerns like anxiety, depression, and addiction. I also help with issues around careers, desire, and creative work. Many experience feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of direction, which often affect their relationships with others and their work, family, and romantic lives. My sessions involve focused talk therapy. By unpacking personal narratives—including day-to-day feelings—we aim to understand the underlying forces in these stories. I use a psychoanalytic approach influenced by Lacan and Freud, focusing on how the unconscious shapes behavior.

As a psychotherapist with advanced clinical training in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic techniques I primarily use those modalities as a way for us to bring unconscious thoughts, feelings, and patterns of behavior to the surface and look at them in a new light.
My therapy style is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and connection. I deeply believe in the significance of having a space where you can say whatever comes to mind in an uncensored manner without fear of judgment. In each session, I strive to provide that warm, accepting, and open space for you. Finding the right therapist and the right fit is extremely important. It is my belief that the relationship we build together is the cornerstone of your therapy work. You are the expert of your own experience. This means that you know yourself best.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is about cultivating a capacity to think and work through the difficult areas in our emotional and psychic lives. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, unmotivated in your daily life, wanting more from your relationships. You might be looking for a space from which to begin reflecting on painful or jarring experiences. By elaborating and asking questions of our trauma, anxiety, depression, isolation, and loneliness, we can begin to observe how we move through our lives, to figure out how to evolve and grow. In all this, there is also room to be playful and creative, to reconnect with our desires.

My approach draws upon various clinical theories and techniques, such as psychodynamic, psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Therapy can be a space to expand your sense of yourself. While a specific problem may bring you to therapy, I believe that my patients are often helped by gaining insight into (and ultimately, mastery over) long-standing patterns in their relationships, feelings, or behaviors. This approach helps to create lasting change. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who have a variety of concerns, some of which include shame, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, life transitions, or a vague sense of being disconnected from oneself.

My research considers how non-Western ways of being can inform the psychoanalytic process.
What does the shape of our lives reveal about our ideologies and our narrative of reality? How does psychotherapy help us examine this? The analytic space is dedicated to moving beyond the pressures of institutions and societal constraints that preexist us in order to seek the particular desires and needs in each of us. In treatment, we confront ourselves and our unique experience of the world so that we can explore possibilities for transformation. I am attuned to how one’s suffering may intersect with intimate relationships, inherited traumas, and systemic oppression. I welcome patients from diverse and non-normative backgrounds.

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.
