In my private practice I offer psychoanalytically-oriented psychotherapy in which I strive to create a relationship and process in which it is possible to articulate a narrative of your self and your life that can be experienced as resonant and authentic, towards an alleviation of that which ails you. Your personal, historical, and cultural formation is critical in our exploration of who you are and who you strive to become. The state of being anxious or depressed or melancholic is one we will together attempt to understand as a surfacing of a deep and interior self to be understood and integrated.
