I’ve found that most of my clients are looking to explore themselves in a sophisticated way. They describe themselves as “living on autopilot." They can manage stress but are having difficulty really getting to know the core of who they are or what they want in life. Maybe you’re someone who longs to “make something of yourself” and feels the pressure to succeed in school or the workplace. You might be grieving the loss of important relationships while adjusting to new social landscapes. Or you’re feeling the weight of society’s social clock. My goal is to help you both resolve symptoms and impart meaning to your experiences.
My work is a unique interweaving of relational psychoanalysis, attachment theory, and family systems. This modality caters well to those looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and their relationships. In therapy, we would explore how past and current intrapersonal and relational experiences have impacted the development of your present-day self.
In addition to therapy, I conduct comprehensive psychological assessments for ADHD as well as learning and/or emotional disorders. I offer free 15-20 minute phone consultations so please feel free to reach out to me via phone or email when you feel ready to. I look forward to connecting with you!
