Introduction

Seeking care can be a daunting experience, from trusting your instincts around whether it feels like the right match, to believing in your own capacity to grow and heal. I see my role as providing a reliable and consistent space where my patients can grow freer to think about their lives in ways that may have previously felt out of reach. A foundational goal of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy is the cultivation of curiosity into how your mind works, how you relate to your own emotions, and how patterns in your life are obstructing your ability to work, love, play, and make meaning. My background and training is in psychoanalysis, although I also work with existential and family systems perspectives in mind. In my practice I see adults who experience problems with living. I specialize in working with the complexities of gender and sexuality, as well as with the internal and external dynamics of racism and other forms of hate. Because we are listening for thoughts and feelings that by design have made themselves hard to hear, I often will recommend meeting more frequently than once-a-week so we are able to build a greater momentum in psychotherapy. I invite this deeper treatment only in consultation with my patient, and after we have thought together about the benefits and costs.
