Individual Therapy
I offer individual psychotherapy for adults and adolescents, and I welcome clients of all racial and cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations/identities.
Many of the difficulties that bring people to therapy — recurring conflicts, a sense of being stuck, feelings that seem larger than the situation at hand — have roots that reach further back than the present moment. My approach is grounded in the belief that much of what shapes our lives operates beneath conscious awareness: patterns formed in early relationships, feelings that we have learned to set aside, and ways of understanding ourselves that once served a purpose but no longer do. Therapy, from this perspective, is less about quick fixes than about genuine understanding — and understanding, in turn, tends to open up room for change that lasts.
I would describe my work as integrative rather than doctrinaire. While psychoanalytic theory forms the foundation of how I listen and think, I do not believe any single framework holds the whole of a person, and I bring flexibility and care to meeting each individual where they are. A great deal of the work happens within the relationship between us, which I regard not merely as a backdrop for treatment but as one of its most valuable instruments — a place where old patterns can be noticed, questioned, and, over time, loosened.
I welcome the opportunity to speak with you about what brings you to this point, and whether this way of working might be a good fit. I will collaborate with you through every step of the therapy process, making sure that you understand and agree with your diagnosis and treatment plan; that you decide on the pace, nature and duration of therapy; and that you feel confident about the progress that you are making. If you need further assessment or a medication consultation, I can refer you to an appropriate provider or work with the provider that you already have.
Therapy is a two-way process of growth and transformation that enables me to learn from every client, and I am committed to remaining open to new insights and continual improvement as I work with you. It is an honor to be invited to join you on your path toward self-understanding, improvement and healing.
