PSYCHOANALYST, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST, AUTHOR, & SPEAKER
Exploring the emotional histories that shape our lives
I work with adults, couples, and clinicians seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the emotional histories that shape their lives.
My clinical and scholarly work focuses on trauma, race, culture, identity, intergenerational experiences and the complexisites of belonging. Drawing from contemporary psychoanalysis and nearly four decades of clinical experience, I help patients explore longstanding emotional patterns, relationship difficulties, experiences of loss, and questions of meaning and selfhood.
Located in Pasadena, California, I provide individual and couples psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, consultation, supervision, and forensic services.
A BIT ABOUT THERAPY
In our therapy sessions, we will co-create an environment where you can safely explore your current issues and difficulties in work and relationships. To achieve the meaningful changes that you desire, I believe that our therapeutic relationship must be founded on safety and trust. Therefore, our work will be collaborative, requiring a strong commitment on both our parts.
Whatever your individual needs and experiences are, we will pursue a flexible and pragmatic approach to your therapy, as I believe each patient’s needs are unique and therefore require an individualized responsiveness. Whether your troubles derive from depression, anxiety, lack of self-esteem, shame, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, trauma, or other difficulties, I have over 25 years of experience and training to help you through these trying times.
If you would like to learn more, I welcome you to contact me to arrange a New Patient Consultation at your convenience to discuss how we can work together to create lasting fulfillment in your personal life and work.
