About Me
I help individuals and couples explore what it means to truly connect. My work centres on teaching the analytic concept of ‘tolerating intimacy’, which can feel challenging for many. We can gently unpack patterns that hinder closeness, helping you improve current relationships or find the love you seek. This approach is ideal for those who feel a barrier to deeper connection.
Approach
Learning to tolerate intimacy often begins with small, curiosity-focused experiments that help you notice what feels risky and what feels inviting. In my Lake Peekskill office or through secure online sessions in English, I keep a grounded, steady pace, alternating reflective listening with gentle challenges and clear, practical reflections. I track patterns—mood shifts, anxious pulls, repeating relational moves—and use psychodynamic reflection and brief assessments to map how safety or avoidance shows up between meetings. This approach suits adults and couples ready to trade automatic distance for fuller closeness.
