Many of us hold on to what is familiar, routine and predictable, even when what we cling to is no longer serving us. Letting go of what is known is one of the hardest parts of growth. Change and growth are possible when a sense of security, safety, and genuine understanding is present. I provide individualized, culturally-attuned and effective psychotherapy. You might have tried psychotherapy before, and perhaps it brought you through a stormy time, but ultimately left you to find yourself repeating well-worn patterns and feeling the same insecurities that led you to seek help initially.
I specialize in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, an approach that offers you the opportunity to look more deeply at longstanding fears and hopes, so that lasting change is possible. In session, I am engaged, transparent and empathic. I view the therapeutic process as one marked by curiosity, courage, and collaboration.
Treatment is tailored to your unique needs and goals. Though change is not comfortable, it can provide the momentum necessary to help you move closer to increased freedom and flexibility. If you would like to take the first step, please contact me to schedule a free 20-minute phone or video consultation.
