My Approach to Helping

The therapy I offer is a powerful approach—rooted in psychoanalysis and attuned to your unconscious psychic world. It doesn’t just ease symptoms; it works at the core, transforming the emotional structures that shape how you relate, feel, and experience yourself in the world.

I practice contemporary relational psychoanalysis, a deep and collaborative approach to understanding your inner life. One of my specialties is dream interpretation—using dreams as a gateway to the unconscious to support insight, emotional growth, and lasting change.

I love what I do and feel fortunate to learn from my patients every day. If you’d like to grow through this work, I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation. I’m licensed in CA, NY, and NJ.
