About
I provide psychotherapy and psychoanalysis for adults from diverse backgrounds facing wide-ranging challenges. My approach is grounded in a range of psychoanalytic principles and theories, is complemented by training in various therapeutic modalities, and informed by developmental psychology, mindfulness, philosophy and spiritual traditions. I do not believe that our symptoms are our identities and I steadfastly believe that we can grow through our pain and suffering.
Clients often enter treatment with me due to anxiety, depression, identity issues, feeling stuck, addiction, overwhelm, inhibition and inner turmoil, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions,
and the pursuit of greater creativity and authenticity. In our sessions, we explore your present experiences and how your reality takes shape and has been shaped, working toward your personal goals while examining your inner landscape and our therapeutic relationship.
Through our collaborative work you can expect to gain clarity, experience relief from distress, and create lasting positive change. Clients describe me as a careful listener who is curious, empathic, nonjudgmental, and insightful. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for healing and growth, and I approach each client with respect for their unique experience, offering both compassionate
support and thoughtful guidance toward a more fulfilling life.
My qualifications include University of Chicago graduate training and fellowships and ongoing training with several psychoanalytic institutes. Currently I am affiliated with the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies (NY) and the Institute for a Democratic
Psychoanalysis (CO). I maintain involvement with the Baltimore Psychoanalytic Film Festival and serve on the board of the Ashland Independent Film Festival.
