Great to meet you!

I'm intrerested in helping people learn more about themselves through the psychotherapeutic process.


As a practicing psychoanalyst I'll work with you to explore your underlying and unconscious motivations which is of primary importance to helping you understand yourself.


I'll help you to achieve this knowledge and guide you towards utlizing it in making the changes you're seeking in your life.

My approach to therapy

I'm here to listen first and foremost, so hopefully you're talking more than I am.


I ask a lot of questions, and use quite a bit of humor in my sessions.


Our lives and problems can be serious matters, but that doesn't mean we're forced to let that control our approach to facing them.

What you can expect from me

I like to create an environement of curiousity and questioning. If we've had a successful session you'll leave with one or more things you haven't considered before or hadn't thought about that way previously.
