Psychiatry, Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis
Philosophy
Most people who walk through a therapist’s door are seeking a second chance—a way to live with greater freedom, connection, and meaning. That chance begins with understanding how the past continues to shape the present. By making sense of the patterns and emotional experiences we've carried forward, new possibilities emerge: for growth, for deeper relationships, and for a life less constrained by old wounds.
Psychoanalytic therapy is about more than symptom relief. It offers the opportunity to understand yourself more fully, and in doing so, to make lasting changes that ripple outward—into work, intimacy, creativity, and self-worth. While this kind of therapy takes time and commitment, its effects often extend far beyond the consulting room. Like education, it can be life-altering.
This kind of work is also surprisingly cost-effective. Psychiatric symptoms often lead to years of medical expenses, lost productivity, and strained or broken relationships. By addressing the root causes of emotional suffering, psychoanalytic therapy can reduce these hidden costs and help restore your ability to thrive.
In my practice, I create a space where we can take the time we need—free from insurance company interference or artificial limits on care. I tailor each treatment to the person sitting across from me, bringing together the best of medical training, neuroscience, and psychoanalysis, grounded in the virtues of old-fashioned, attentive care.
