In a world that's more connected than ever, many of us are experiencing a growing sense of disconnection, overwhelm, and discontent. Inundated by endless information and the pressures of daily life, we often struggle to find space to process our own thoughts and feelings. By learning to set boundaries and consciously deciding where to invest our mental energy, we can start to rediscover ourselves. Through this journey, we can cultivate a deeper sense of authenticity, wholeness, and joy in our lives.

Imagine being full of joy, presence, and gratitude. Life can be overbearing at times with all of its troubles. It may feel like you're no longer a driver, but a passenger in your own life. You have difficulty seeing beyond the here and now, unable to find solutions, and you can't come back to a sense of self because everything else seems to be keeping you from peace. You're wanting to take control and live a life you've been dreaming of. I work specifically with addiction, crisis, and suicidal thoughts.

I am trained in depth psychology including psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and Jungian perspectives.
Life experiences can disrupt our connection to self—to psyche—resulting in loss of our internal resources. As a result, we can feel overwhelmed and disoriented when faced with challenges. Therapy can help provide a supportive relationship where these experiences can be explored—recovery of lost or devastated parts of the self can begin. Some of the areas I support clients with include religious trauma and deconstruction, depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship and family issues, mind-body connection, complex trauma, and creativity,

I specialize in Rumination-Focused ERP for OCD. This approach to ERP focuses on treating compulsive rumination, and provides a highly systematic yet gentler approach to exposure therapy. RF-ERP can be helpful to patients who have not made significant progress in other types of treatment, including individuals with Pure O or Sensorimotor OCD. I also believe in the importance of treating the emotional dynamics that underlie OCD symptoms. I therefore integrate psychoanalytic treatment within and alongside ERP, to foster deeper and more lasting change than ERP alone can offer.

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.
