In practicing psychotherapy for over 25 years, I have had the great privilege of offering an empathic, safe space and secure therapeutic relationship for patients to feel seen, heard, and deeply understood. The specific nature of the therapy relationship allows for all aspects of the self to feel welcomed and accepted, the space to process complex life experiences, a safe resting place for the expression of emotions, and ultimately to find healing and freedom from deeply held emotional, psychological, and relational wounds.
Patients who come to seek treatment from me are often looking for an empathic and secure therapeutic connection so as to work through issues as loneliness, isolation, sadness, depression, worry, anxiety, early developmental trauma and neglect, attachment and intimacy related issues, situational traumas, general relational difficulties, and self-esteem related struggles that have been either life long or short term.
My psychotherapy approach is informed by a developmental, relational, and intersubjective psychoanalytic frame of reference that allows for mutual exploration, insightawareness and working through emotions, relational patterns, and other areas of concern.
In addition to psychoanalysis and general psychotherapy, I offer insight-oriented mindfulness meditation practice as a means to feel more emotionally present and connected to the self, body, and mind, and more connected to life in general, so as to strengthen living fully in the present moment.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I integrate somatically informed treatment as well as dialectical behavioral skills with psychodynamic and relationally focused psychoanalytic talk therapy.
