Welcome to Psychology and Psychoanalysis

I help people move forward in life in ways that are deeply meaningful and lasting, no matter their circumstances. I’m a licensed psychologist, so my work goes beyond motivation or goal-setting. Psychotherapy can create lasting positive changes in self-understanding, emotional well-being, openness, initiative, and relationships. It works 🙂

I believe that psychotherapy and psychoanalysis offer a rare opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of oneself, engage more fully with one’s inner life, and get to the heart of who we are, in service of building a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling. I am committed to providing unbiased support to individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Psychology and Psychoanalysis

As a clinical psychologist, I offer individualized, depth-oriented psychotherapy and psychoanalysis grounded in an empathetic, emotion-focused, relational, and insight-oriented approach. My work explores how emotional experiences, personal history, and relationships shape the ways we experience ourselves, others, and the world around us.

I work with adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds, addressing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I recognize that each person brings a unique history, perspective, and set of needs to therapy, and I tailor my approach accordingly.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and thoughtful therapeutic space where individuals can speak freely, explore their feelings, develop a deeper understanding of themselves, and work toward meaningful and lasting emotional change. I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself can be an important part of this process, creating opportunities for greater self-awareness, more fulfilling relationships, and an increased capacity for joy in life.

I offer psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families, as well as psychoanalysis for those interested in more intensive, ongoing exploration. I particularly welcome individuals who are motivated to engage in regular therapeutic work and are curious about understanding themselves at a deeper level.

Fees and Insurance

Fees start at $250 per weekly individual psychotherapy session and $300 per couples or family session. Flexible fee arrangements may be available depending on individual circumstances. The possibility of online sessions can also be discussed based on individual needs.

I am an in-network provider with Aetna for participating commercial insurance plans. For clients with other insurance plans, I provide out-of-network services and can supply documentation to support requests for possible reimbursement.
