Board-certified in Psychoanalytic & Psychodynamic Psychology
In-depth psychotherapy, and careful forensic opinions.
I help clients understand how early experiences shape present struggles — and I bring that same clinical depth to personal injury matters involving emotional distress and trauma.
For individuals
Psychotherapy
Long-term, psychodynamic therapy, often meeting more than once a week, for lasting rather than surface-level change.
How therapy with me worksFor legal counsel
Forensic Consultation
Independent medical examinations, record reviews and expert reports in personal injury matters involving emotional distress and trauma.
Forensic servicesPsychotherapy
Getting to the roots, not just the symptoms.
Many of the patterns that bring people to therapy — anxiety that won't settle, recurring relationship struggles, a mood that keeps returning — make more sense once we understand where they come from. In our work together, we look at the connections between what you're experiencing now and the experiences that shaped you, so that change can be deep and lasting.
I specialize in long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy, which often means meeting several times per week. This intensity gives room for the kind of understanding that shorter treatments rarely reach, and helps clients move toward their full potential.

- Depression
