About

Psychotherapy relieves mental distress by cultivating one's innate capacities to think and grow. We all negotiate the world in idiosyncratic ways developed over the course of our lives, and emotional suffering results when initially adaptive measures no longer suffice to meet our emotional needs. Understanding the origins of repetitive unsatisfying relationships, low self-esteem, anxiety, and other psychological difficulties allows one to make more informed decisions about how to meet these needs authentically and effectively. As a psychoanalyst, I specialize in the in-depth treatment of emotional issues, which entails understanding how one has come to interact with the world via immersion in the safety of a therapeutic relationship. Such work allows aspects of a patient's inner life to be brought to light and thought about in new ways that promote healing and growth.
