I am interested in why people find themselves repeating experiences they do not want.
Why someone can understand a pattern completely and still feel trapped by it.
Why a person can be successful in one part of life and deeply dissatisfied in another.
Why relationships that begin with hope can end in the same disappointment.
Because the goal is not simply understanding.
The goal is less suffering.
Closer relationships.
More freedom.
More aliveness.
A life that feels more fully lived.
I work from the belief that people make sense.
Even the parts that feel confusing, frustrating, self-defeating, or impossible to change.
Symptoms, conflicts, and self-defeating patterns are meaningful.
They point to something.
They’re not random.
They’re not character flaws.
They’re not simply bad habits.
They’re expressions of deeper ways of organizing experience, relationships, and the self.
My work is grounded in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy, with additional training in attachment, developmental trauma, personality, neurobiology, and couples therapy.
The goal is not simply managing symptoms. The goal is understanding and changing the conditions that create them.
Change that matters shows up in everyday life.
In how you feel about yourself.
In your capacity for closeness.
In the choices you make.
In your ability to pursue what matters to you.
And in the freedom to respond to life differently than you have before.
My work is informed by two decades of clinical experience and advanced training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, attachment, personality, developmental trauma, neurobiology, and couples therapy.
