About Me

I have a deep conviction that psychoanalysis offers a uniquely powerful way of engaging with the underlying structures that shape a person’s experience, rather than focusing only on surface-level symptoms. I work with individuals and couples who are seeking greater personal freedom and creativity, relief from psychological suffering, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Before entering clinical practice, I spent many years in the corporate IT environment and hold an MBA. This background informs my sensitivity to the pressures, complexities, and internal conflicts often faced by professionals, while also enabling me to work thoughtfully with questions of identity, purpose, and creativity. I aim to provide a space where difficult thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment. This includes attending to the nuances of the therapeutic relationship itself, as a way of understanding recurring relational patterns. My work is particularly suited to those who feel stuck, caught in repetitive dynamics, or curious about the deeper forces influencing their experience.

Approach

I use a psychoanalytic approach to help you look beyond immediate concerns and understand the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. If you feel stuck, disconnected, or lonely, or notice recurring relationship difficulties, we can work together to uncover their underlying causes. This approach can also help make sense of unexplained physical symptoms, as well as ongoing anxiety and stress. By exploring what lies beneath the surface, you can gain clarity and begin to move forward in a more meaningful way.
