Why Seek Psychodynamic Psychotherapy?

Psychodynamic psychotherapy can help you to overcome anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, fears of abandonment, career challenges and related concerns. It can help you to develop increased self-awareness which, in turn, can lead to the mastery of painful feelings and increased self-esteem and self confidence.

My Services

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Psychodynamic psychotherapy may help you to deepen your self-awareness. Anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and other challenges are viewed as signs of inner conflict to be understood and mastered.

Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis is an intensive psychotherapy. Meeting with your analyst several times a week over a period of years, allows you to deepen your self-understanding; and to overcome longstanding, pervasive, patterns that have led to unhappiness. A successful psychoanalysis is transformative.

Clinical Supervision

I offer clinical supervision and consultation to those seeking to deepen their psychoanalytic skills in case conceptualization and clinical technique. As a Supervising and Training Analyst, I work with psychoanalysts-in-training as well as licensed, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors & social workers.
