About Me
As a licensed psychologist and psychoanalyst, I have undergone extensive training and education, including a Psy. D. in psychology and a Master of Science in Counselor Education. My academic and professional background has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of human behavior, emotional regulation, and psychological development.
As a psychoanalytic therapist, I emphasize the importance of understanding the unconscious mind and its impact on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs, taking into account their values, beliefs, social and cultural identity, personal experiences, interests, sexual and gender identities, and self-perception.
Our Approach
At our practice, we strive to create a safe, secure, and empathetic environment where clients can freely express themselves. Our approach is built on the principles of psychoanalysis, incorporating cognitive-behavioral therapy and other evidence-based practices. We empower our clients to gain self-awareness, recognize patterns of behavior, and develop coping mechanisms to navigate life's challenges.
