Clinical Experience
I am a licensed psychotherapist and certified psychoanalyst with over 20 years’ experience. I’ve helped many people navigate their struggles to find freedom and vitality through deeper self-knowledge and creative perspective. I’m pleased to work with adults of all identities and backgrounds in individual and couples psychotherapy.
My orientation is psychodynamic, so our work will entail a close and collaborative relationship and a deep exploration of your inner experience.
Every therapeutic relationship is unique and so every treatment is unique. As our work develops, I often integrate other techniques as we see that they work for you. Take a look at my “Approach to Therapy” page to learn more.
