Understanding yourself is one thing.
Changing is another.
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in Stamford, CT
In-person psychotherapy in Stamford, Connecticut. Online psychotherapy for residents of Connecticut and New York.
You may recognize the same difficulties appearing in your relationships, your choices, or the way you feel about yourself—and still find them difficult to change.
Areas of Expertise
Difficulties with closeness, trust, conflict, or expressing what you need. Patterns with others—and in how you treat yourself.
Anxiety, depression, self-criticism, or feelings that are hard to name. A sense that something keeps getting in the way.
Grief, life transitions, chronic illness, and infertility. Experiences that can unsettle how you understand yourself and your future.
Careful listening. Ongoing study.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and Connecticut. My work is grounded in psychoanalytic training and curiosity about your particular experience.
I am in my fourth year of psychoanalytic training at the Westchester Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, with graduation expected in October 2027. I have also completed one year of training at the William Alanson White Institute.
My Approach
We don’t always understand why we feel what we feel, make certain choices, or find ourselves repeating experiences we wish would change. Some of the forces shaping our lives operate outside our awareness.
Sometimes the very ways we protect ourselves from pain become the things that keep us from living differently. Understanding this does not automatically make change easier. Together, we can explore what feels at stake in changing, and return to those difficult feelings over time.
Therapy is also a relationship. The feelings that arise between us—including trust, uncertainty, disappointment, and moments of misunderstanding—can become opportunities to understand familiar experiences in a different way.
We will pay attention to what happens in our conversations, as well as what happens elsewhere in your life. You can tell me when something does not feel right, or when it is difficult to say what you need.
Stamford & Fairfield County
My only in-person office is in Stamford, Connecticut. If you live in North Stamford, Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Norwalk, or Westport, we can discuss whether coming to Stamford or meeting online is a better fit for your circumstances.
Online psychotherapy is also available for Connecticut and New York residents, subject to eligibility and your location at the time of each session.
