Looking for a therapist is difficult and can increase our already present anxiety and depression. Many of these feelings are constructed throughout our childhood and brought into our adult lives creating feelings of inadequacy or repeating patterns from our past that leave us stuck and unable to move forward. By creating a safe and trusting environment, where issues of trauma and anxiety can be freely discussed, I will assist you in becoming more fluid in your life so you can move forward in a more fulfilling direction. I believe psychic and emotional change happens through the relationship between the therapist and patient. As a psychotherapist, I take a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approach, which provides support and curious exploration to gain insight into the areas of your life where you may feel stuck, dissatisfied, anxious or depressed. My specialties include the treatment of adults with anxiety, depression, traumatic histories and maladaptive interpersonal relationships. For 20 years, I was a professor of philosophy and literature, writing my dissertation on psychoanalysis, philosophy and poetry, teaching courses on the theories of mind, creativity and psychoanalysis. I trained as a psychotherapist working with individuals to change their mental organization in order to live more freely without the burden of anxiety
