My clients are seeking therapy for wellness and mental health issues including depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, work stress, and self esteem issues.

I am dedicated to listening closely and on multiple levels to the people I work with. I want to understand how you think, experience the world, and feel.

I use a contemporary psychoanalytic approach to address a variety of issues by engaging with and honoring each person's unique history, internal experience, and personal and cultural circumstances. I work with people from many different backgrounds who find themselves struggling in their lives: those who feel stuck or stalled in approaching a crossroads, those who can't get past what has happened or are going through something too big to bear alone, those who know where they want to be but can't seem to get there, and those too anxious or depressed even to look ahead.

Personal difficulties and the inner conflicts that often accompany them may present a challenge to what we understand of our identities, relationships, and personal histories. Through the work of speaking about our desires and difficulties in the presence of an attentive, skilled listener these conflicts can often reveal previously hidden truths that drive our everyday experiences. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space for confidential, non-judgmental listening and relating to the unique aspects of your experience, to help you work through conflicts.

Schooled in both Eastern and Western psychology, I bring a contemplative, fluid perspective to the exploration of the human mind and the alleviation of suffering.

I am strong but gentle, and able to contain a great deal of distress.

Hello. If your child or adolescent needs support, it's likely that I can help.

I'm a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with more than 35 years of experience. My goal is to enable my clients to better understand themselves and their hidden emotional conflicts. Self-awareness and self-knowledge are empowering because our deepest desires for love, connectedness, and achievement are typically tangled up in bad feelings - like shame, guilt or anxiety -- that obstruct us from pursuing their fulfillment. These bad feelings are often based on unrealistic ideas, the residues of childhood experience. I work with clients to disentangle their vital wishes from these constraints so that they can live more authentic and creative lives.

Experience has taught me that there is no single script for a successful therapeutic endeavor. You bring to each encounter exactly what you are experiencing in the moment. You may arrive looking for clarity, healing, or hope. Our task is to clear some space to enable new thoughts and perspectives to emerge. Insight can lead to change, but not always in a straight line. Our ongoing conversation is the place of discovery, dynamic struggle, and meaning making, all of which contribute to new ways of relating and perceiving.
