Psychotherapy
With over three decades of experience in the field of psychology, I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy that adapts to meet your unique needs. My approach combines the insights of psychoanalytic understanding with practical, evidence-based interventions to help you create meaningful change in your life.
I believe in treating the whole person, not just a collection of symptoms. Drawing from my psychoanalytic background, I help you understand how your past experiences shape your present challenges while focusing on your inherent strengths and capacity for growth. My style is direct and engaging – I speak plainly, offer clear insights, and create a space where both difficult emotions and personal victories can be explored and celebrated.
Our work together might include:
-
Exploring patterns in your relationships, emotions, and behaviors to gain deeper self-understanding
-
Learning practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and other challenging emotions
-
Processing trauma through evidence-based approaches like EMDR when appropriate
-
Addressing parenting challenges with concrete guidance grounded in developmental understanding
-
Working through grief, life transitions, or career challenges
-
Identifying and transforming maladaptive coping mechanisms into healthier patterns
While my foundation is psychoanalytic, I recognize that different moments in life call for different approaches. Sometimes you might need a space for deep exploration and insight; other times, you might benefit from practical coping strategies or specific guidance. I adjust my approach based on what will be most helpful for you at any given time, while always maintaining a holistic view of your experiences and growth.
Many of my clients find that engaging in ongoing therapy allows for both immediate problem-solving and deeper personal growth. This comprehensive approach helps create lasting change by addressing both surface-level symptoms and their underlying causes. Together, we can work at a pace that feels right for you, celebrating progress while thoughtfully addressing challenges as they arise.
