Psychotherapy & Contemporary Psychoanalysis · Oakland, CA
To slow down enough for something new to take shape. A space where what feels unclear, stuck, or difficult to name can begin to unfold.

Sometimes there is anxiety that has become hard to manage. A relationship that feels strained or confusing. A sense of being caught in patterns that repeat.
At other times, something less defined brings people in. A feeling that something is not quite right. A wish to understand oneself more fully.
My approach is grounded in contemporary psychoanalytic thinking. We begin with what is most present for you, while also making space for what may not yet be fully known.
In therapy, we begin to notice them together. Not to fix them quickly, but to understand how they have taken form and how they continue to live in the present.
There is no rushing here. We move at a pace that suits you, with room for what's easy to say and what takes longer to find.
I see adults and adolescents in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
My office is located in the Rockridge neighborhood of North Oakland.
