Many people feel overwhelmed and have to figure life out on their own.

Psychoanalysis offers a more profound way of understanding yourself — not just to manage symptoms, but to uncover the unconscious patterns that shape your experiences.

Psychoanalysis is not about fixing you. It is about helping you come into fuller contact with who you already are.

Do you recognize yourself?

Do you find yourself reacting in ways you don't fully understand?

Do you take things too personally or feel overwhelmed by emotions that seem out of your control?

Do you wonder why others seem content while you struggle with frustration, anxiety, or self-doubt?

This work

Some things don't resolve on their own.

Not because you haven't tried, but because they require a different kind of attention — sustained, honest, and unhurried. That is what this work offers.

Through psychoanalytic work, we don't just apply tools or techniques. Instead, we explore the roots of your struggles — your internal world, the emotional experiences of your past, and the unconscious beliefs that silently direct your reactions and relationships.

This is not about becoming someone different. It is about coming into fuller contact with who you already are.

My belief is simple: psychoanalysis is not about fixing you. It is about helping you come into fuller contact with who you already are.

Anxiety, depression, and self-doubt are not character flaws — they are signals worth understanding.

Most people who come to this work are not looking for tools or techniques. They have tried those. They are looking for something more fundamental — an understanding of why the same patterns keep repeating, why insight alone hasn't been enough, why the life they are living feels narrower than the one they sense is possible. That is exactly what psychoanalytic work addresses. Not by managing what is difficult, but by understanding it well enough that it loses its grip.

Insurance

I do not accept insurance directly. However, services may be covered in full or partially through out-of-network benefits. I am happy to provide documentation to support that process.

If you have out-of-network benefits, here are the questions worth asking your insurance provider:

Am I eligible for out-of-network mental health benefits?
What is my deductible, and have I met it?
What coverage amount do I have per therapy session?
How many sessions am I entitled to per year?

"It is about coming home to who you already are."
