“Contemporary Relational Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. I utilize a holistic approach that treats the whole person.”
About Me
I help people understand how past experiences and relationships shape their present. My contemporary relational approach explores your unique story, connecting current feelings to deeper patterns. We take a holistic view, treating you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. This means we might explore your relationships, both past and present, to unravel what holds you back. Clients seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and lasting change find this collaborative work deeply insightful.
Approach
Guided by psychodynamic and psychoanalytic principles, I attend to how early and current relationships shape moments in the room and choices outside it. In my New York office and via secure English-language telehealth, sessions move at a pace you can handle, alternating focused reflection with practical steps you can try between meetings. I listen for patterns in anxiety, mood, trauma and relational concerns, offering interpretations, containment and concrete experiments to test new ways of relating. This approach suits people seeking steady, meaningful change and clearer self-understanding.
