Psychoanalysis & Mental Health Consultation

Unfreeze Your Life Using Modern Psychoanalysis

Over the past century, the landscape of psychoanalysis has undergone profound transformations.

Since the era of Freud, the field has embraced innovation, birthing a myriad of analytic approaches that refine and expand upon classical psychoanalytic principles. Among these, modern psychoanalysis stands out as a pivotal evolution, offering a gentler, more adaptable approach to understanding and treating the complexities of the human psyche.

My training is grounded in a range of psychoanalytic principles, with unique specialization and certification in modern psychoanalysis. This exceptionally rare credential enables me to address a wide array of psychological and emotional challenges from an advanced lens, helping clients liberate themselves from distressing feelings and symptoms.

How I work

Certified by The Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis under the tutelage of Dr. Stephen Day Ellis, my practice is informed by Hyman Spotnitz's innovative theories, focusing on the critical work of metabolizing dysregulated emotions, fostering resilience against frustration, and the vital importance of setting healthy boundaries leading to maturational development. Through carefully curated "emotional vaccines," I aim to help incrementally build resilience, preparing clients to better face future challenges.

My approach to therapy is characterized by creating a welcoming, secure space—bridging professional knowledge with a practical, down-to-earth attitude and a light-hearted appreciation for humor. I use a comprehensive and thoughtful approach to evaluate your experiences and condition thoroughly before making hasty interpretations. This supportive environment encourages clients to harness their inner strength and life force, potentially minimizing dependency on medications.
