Welcome to my website. If you are reading these lines, it is likely that you are seeking a psychotherapist or psychoanalyst to help you address certain problems you are facing in your life. Seeking help through psychotherapy or psychoanalysis is a significant and often difficult step. Finding a therapist or psychoanalyst who feels like a good fit can be even harder. The goal of this website is to help you learn more about me and the services I provide, so that you can decide whether to take the next step of contacting me to schedule an initial consultation.

I am a contemporary psychoanalyst whose approach to treatment is rooted in the Freudian tradition and informed by post-Freudian theory and technique. The patients I work with are often struggling to move forward in their emotional, creative, or professional lives. At times, they may be burdened by guilt, have difficulty with impulse control, suffer in their personal relationships, or feel persistently weighed down by repetitive patterns they find difficult to change on their own.

In the course of our work together, patients often come to recognize feelings, memories, and experiences that were either outside of conscious awareness or that had long been present but never fully articulated or thought through. The work of remembering and working-through can be difficult and at times lengthy, in part because symptoms are adaptive: they serve to protect against certain feelings or experiences, and letting them go can therefore feel threatening or even inconceivable.

Despite these difficulties, the rewards of engaging in psychodynamic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis can be substantial. This process can lessen longstanding forms of suffering and allow patients to develop greater freedom in their inner lives, as well as in their relationships with others. Over time, psychodynamic psychotherapy can support a deeper sense of autonomy and a more flexible, engaged way of being in the world.
