Many of the people I work with are successful by any outside measure. They come not because life has fallen apart, but because they want to understand what success hasn't touched: the patterns that repeat, the feelings that stay just out of reach, the parts of themselves set aside to get where they are.

I work with people in demanding, caring professions (medicine, psychotherapy, the creative arts, and others) who carry a great deal for others and are ready for something deeper for themselves. Often, the strategies that once served them, to please, to perfect, to perform, now quietly restrict their vitality.

Psychoanalysis isn't a quick fix. It's a sustained encounter with yourself, one that makes room for freedom, aliveness, and change that holds.

I have limited availability and keep a short waitlist. If you're interested in working together, please reach out. I'm always glad to talk about fit.
