I treat couples and individuals who are struggling with a range of problems, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, acculturation, and professional concerns. I strive to heal emotional pain in a manner that promotes greater independence, freedom, and playfulness. My collaborative approach is rooted in psychoanalysis and integrates cognitive-behavioral elements. In sessions, we would explore connections between the past and the present as well as rigid patterns of organizing experience, which often reside outside our immediate awareness.
