Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

I aim to clear one's negative misconceptions about the self so that relationships and work can be pursued with vigor and satisfaction.

About Me

I aim to clear one's negative misconceptions about the self so that relationships and work can be pursued with vigour and satisfaction. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I help clients uncover the hidden patterns influencing their lives. We explore past experiences to understand how they shape present difficulties. This deep work allows for lasting change. It suits those ready to build a clearer, more confident self.

Approach

When those old self-judgments surface, I help you gently reframe them so you can act with more clarity and purpose. In my New York office or through secure online sessions in English, we move at a steady, thoughtful pace—tracking recurring feelings, linking them to earlier experiences, and testing new ways of relating between sessions. Sessions feel investigative but humane: attentive listening, timely interpretations, and practical experiments to shift habitual responses. This work tends to suit people and couples ready for honest, lasting change.
