"OUT OF YOUR VULNERABILITIES WILL COME YOUR STRENGTH."
DR. SIGMUND FREUD
ABOUT MY PRACTICE
ABOUT ME
My practice centers on psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, and children. I work with those seeking meaningful and lasting change through sustained psychological work rather than brief, symptom-focused approaches. Treatment clarifies emotional life, traces the roots of distress, and strengthens one’s capacity for reflection and self-understanding. Through this process, what begins in vulnerability often becomes a foundation for resilience, insight, and growth.
EXPERIENCE
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Psychoanalyst with over fifteen years of experience treating children, adolescents, and adults. My approach is both rigorous and deeply human, rooted in clarity, compassion, and a respect for the complexity of the mind. My work is not about managing symptoms but understanding their origins—helping patients find relief by addressing the conflicts and experiences that give rise to them.
EDUCATION
I hold dual Ph.D. degrees in Clinical and Industrial-Organizational Psychology, as well as a Master’s degree in General Psychology with an emphasis on Community Psychology. I completed postdoctoral certification in Child and Adult Psychoanalysis at the San Diego Psychoanalytic Center. My education and training reflects a lifelong commitment to the disciplined study of the mind and to the depth of treatment that psychoanalysis makes possible.
I provide psychoanalysis and psychotherapy for adults, adolescents, and children seeking deeper understanding and lasting change. My work addresses anxiety and depression, trauma and loss, psychosomatic and conversion symptoms, relationship and family difficulties, and challenges of self-esteem and identity. I also offer parent and case consultation for those navigating complex developmental or emotional concerns.
