I practice psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis because these forms of therapy give you more than cognitive skills. Using behavioral techniques risks bypassing the roots of your symptoms and feelings. Feelings are human. Knowing them and how to express them is a different kind of skill. Having access to blocked feelings and parts of yourself is the key to overcoming your problems. I will help you build a safe and trusting relationship with me, which is at the heart of the work we’ll do.

Choosing psychotherapy or psychoanalysis is a decision you and I will make in our initial consultation. Factors such as how long your symptoms have persisted, the severity of your distress, and the amount of anxiety you feel when you’re alone are all important considerations.
