Our Work Together
Our first meetings are a chance to get to know you: what brings you in now, how you experience your life and relationships, and the patterns, both past and present, that may be shaping your struggles. We will talk about what feels most important to you and decide together how best to proceed.
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis
Most of my work is in psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. This means we pay close attention not only to the problems you are aware of, but also to the feelings, patterns, and unconscious expectations that emerge in the room between us. Over time, this kind of work can help you understand yourself more deeply, loosen patterns that keep you stuck, and open space for more satisfying relationships and a richer inner life.
Sessions are typically once or twice a week, though some people choose to meet more frequently.
Medication
As a psychiatrist, I sometimes prescribe medication when it feels appropriate and supportive of the deeper work we are doing. If we consider medication, I will talk with you carefully about options, risks, and benefits, and we will make a thoughtful decision together.
