PSYCHODYNAMIC PSYCHOTHERAPY & CLINICAL consultation

I offer a 10-minute consultation call, not a therapy session, but a brief, informal introduction. I will also explain my approach and what you can expect from our sessions. Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to ask me any questions about my style or the focus of treatment. It is meant to determine if you and I are a good fit.

If we decide to move forward, our first three sessions will each be 55-minute consultations. During this time, I will invite you to share what brings you to therapy and learn about your background, including your childhood, family, profession, health, and support systems. This helps me understand your unique story and ensures I can support you in the best way possible. If we find that we are not the right fit, I will use our remaining time together to help you explore other options that might better suit your needs.

My approach to therapy, rooted in a psychoanalytic-psychodynamic perspective inspired by Freud’s work, is based on the idea that our unconscious mind and past experiences influence our thoughts, relationships, and behaviors. In our sessions, we will gently explore how your early memories and unresolved experiences may have shaped your current life. This collaborative process will take place through telehealth once or twice a week, providing more flexibility than traditional psychoanalysis. Each session lasts 45-55 minutes, and if you prefer to meet in person, we can discuss that option. 

I offer personalized supervision and consultation for clinicians in private practice who want to enrich their clinical work, receive meaningful support, or fulfill supervision hours for LCSW licensure.

My training with Physicians for Human Rights and the Weill Cornell Center for Human Rights has enabled me to conduct immigration evaluations and thoughtfully document the profound impact of torture and trauma. In my comprehensive evaluations, I explore how these experiences affect the mental health of asylum seekers, identifying issues such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety, and linking these psychological effects to their immigration journey.
