Great to meet you!

I am a graduate of the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP). This is a rigorous psychoanalytic training program and requires intensive supervision, academic coursework, and extensive clinical experience before a certificate is granted. This program, along with my personal analysis, has prepared me for all aspects of psychotherapeutic work.

My approach to therapy

I am a licensed clinical social worker and psychoanalyst. I treat children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I focus on the individuality of each patient by taking a careful history and exploring what the patient seeks from psychotherapy. Together, we will decide on an effective and affordable treatment plan.

What you can expect from me

Finding the right therapist, where you feel a sense of connection, is the first step in a successful treatment. Whether you are unsettled, experiencing a life transition, or briefly needing a professional to speak with, together, we will look at what is difficult and what you would like to change. Our work is confidential and I am non-judgmental. Most people who start psychotherapy find it very useful and gain valuable insights which help them fulfill their potential and enrich their lives.
