01 How I work

People seek out therapy because they may feel anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that seem resistant to change. Difficulties may involve challenges with intimacy, forming and maintaining close relationships; difficulty communicating assertively or managing feelings of anger and aggression; concerns related to separation, abandonment, or rejection; low self-esteem; as well as perfectionism and a tendency toward excessive self-criticism. Psychodynamic treatment offers a space for deep listening and curiosity about dynamics that may have been long forgotten or remain hidden from view.

My practice is grounded in the belief that psychoanalytic theory and practice can be a tool for self-empowerment, and even creating new ways of living. Therapy means helping a person move from a vulnerable and dependent position—where one feels limited or constrained by one’s characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, desiring, and experiencing oneself and others—to a richer understanding of themselves and greater sense of freedom in relation to what one wants and what gives life meaning.

Contemporary psychoanalysis does not prescribe what a “healthy mind” or a “good life” should look like. While the therapist helps guide this process, analysis does not mean adopting the therapist’s way of thinking. Rather, it opens up a space for self-reflection and inner exploration, where people can find their own language and modality of being, so that they may live less encumbered by the inheritance of their past or the discontents of the present. This way of working promises not only symptom relief, but also meaningful and lasting transformation.

02 Qualifications & Experience

I am a psychodynamic therapist in advanced training, with a background that bridges clinical psychology, psychoanalysis, and the social sciences. I hold a PhD in Politics, and my previous work has been in academia and various fields of the cultural sector. I began my training in psychoanalysis eight years ago and started working as a clinician in general psychiatry in 2025. In this capacity, I have worked with dozens of patients across a broad range of diagnoses, from depression and anxiety to psychosomatic disorders, substance use issues, self-harm, and post-traumatic disorders.

My work is shaped by a biopsychosocial understanding of mental health along with a deep appreciation for the singularity of lived experience. Where appropriate, I also incorporate somatic practices as a complement to talk therapy.

03 Getting Started

I offer confidential psychodynamic psychotherapy in individual sessions held online once a week or more. The process is open-ended, led by the needs and questions you bring to the session. Psychoanalytic work can last up to a year or longer until we come to a joint decision to end the analysis. I also offer more short-term interventions focused around a particular concern, which we decide jointly. This work tends to be beneficial when there is a clear focus limited to a particular area of life.

My fees are set on a sliding scale depending on your income. I reserve a limited number of spots for individuals on a low income.

You are welcome to contact me for an initial one-hour consultation, during which we can get to know each other, explore what brings you to therapy, and consider which course of treatment might best suit your needs.
