"It's a joy to be hidden but a disaster not to be found." - Winnicott

This quote resonates deeply, reflecting our dual need for safety and connection. Like the childhood game of hide-and-seek, where the thrill of being hidden is matched by the eagerness to be found, we all yearn for a space where we feel secure yet also seek the connection that comes from being discovered and understood.

With 16 years of experience, I bring a psychodynamic perspective to my practice, working with a diverse range of clients. My foundational training as a psychoanalyst, coupled with ongoing education through the Philadelphia School of Psychoanalysis, enriches my approach.

I offer therapy for individuals, couples, and groups, specializing in relationships and the complex emotional landscapes of trauma, loss, and immigration. My belief is that to qualify for therapy, one simply needs to be human. If you're ready to explore these aspects of yourself and find the support you need, I might be the right person to help you navigate this journey.
