Specialty Areas
I work with adults, adolescents, and children who find themselves struggling with emotional difficulties that feel persistent, confusing, or difficult to shift. These may take the form of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or longstanding patterns that interfere with a sense of stability or meaning. I also work closely with parents and children around developmental concerns, emotional growth, and the complexities of family life.
Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis offers an intensive form of treatment that centers on unconscious emotional life and the ways internal conflicts shape experience. The analytic relationship itself becomes a primary space for exploring these processes, allowing for sustained reflection and long-term psychological change. This form of work often appeals to individuals who are curious about their inner life and interested in a deeply engaged therapeutic process.
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy applies psychoanalytic thinking to difficulties as they arise in a person’s everyday life and relationships. The focus is on working through emotional and relational patterns as they are lived outside the therapy setting, while remaining grounded in depth-oriented clinical understanding.
It can be particularly helpful for people who want thoughtful, exploratory work that remains closely connected to current concerns and relationships.
Children and adolescents often express distress through behavior, play, or changes in mood rather than through words alone. Treatment supports young people in making sense of these experiences, while attending carefully to development, relationships, and family context. This work is especially helpful when a child’s struggles feel confusing, persistent, or difficult to address through behavioral approaches alone.
Psychological Testing & Evaluation
Psychological testing provides clarity around cognitive, emotional, and developmental functioning. Assessment can help identify learning differences, attention concerns, and complex emotional presentations, offering guidance for treatment planning, educational decisions, and longer-term support. Testing is often sought when questions feel unanswered or when clearer understanding is needed to guide next steps.
Parent Consultation
Parent consultation offers a focused space to think about a child’s emotional development and relational world. The work helps parents understand the meaning behind a child’s struggles and consider how best to respond, whether through brief guidance or more ongoing consultation. Consultation can be helpful when parents feel uncertain how to support their child or are deciding whether additional services may be needed.
Teaching & Clinical Supervision
I offer teaching and clinical supervision for clinicians seeking to deepen their psychoanalytic understanding and clinical work. This includes support in developing clinical thinking, refining technique, and working thoughtfully with complex emotional and relational material. Supervision is suited to clinicians who value reflection, curiosity, and sustained engagement with the clinical process.
