Using an integration of approaches, including psychodynamic and interpersonal therapy among others, I help patients improve their physical and psychological health and well-being while working with them to understand and work through underlying sources of pain, distress, and emotions that interfere with change.

Patients are encouraged to introspect, to seek greater awareness and understanding of the unconscious roots of their struggles, and to develop new responses to challenges. Achieving greater knowledge of the self often frees us up to choose differently. People frequently feel stuck or caught in repetitious relationship patterns. Or they know they need to change but can’t seem to make the changes they believe they should make. Psychotherapy helps to uncover hidden issues, often stemming from foundational past experiences. As people Improve their self-understanding, they’re better able to change. Often the work of therapy centers on internal barriers and resistances to change that are removed when understood. Together, we work to overcome barriers to change by exploring and heightening awareness of unconscious causes of a patient’s difficulties.
