Great to meet you!

I am a licensed psychoanalyst, practicing psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in person and online. I have been practicing for 10 years; 3 years as a private practitioner. Having come to this country at a young age, I know about psychological challenges of adjusting to new situations. In my practice, I welcome people working in high-pressure and creative fields, as well as immigrants, people from different cultures, gender orientations, and races.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides you with unique experience that focuses on uncovering the roots of fears and anxieties. Its goal is to understand unconscious motivation that guides maladaptive behavior patterns. Together, we will work on identifying these patterns and figuring out the ways in which they can be addressed.

What you can expect from our first session

In my sessions, I listen attentively to the your narrative to understand particularity of your situation and determine the goals of treatment. The success of therapeutic treatment depends on a good fit between the therapist and the patient; I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment to help you open up to our working together.
