My Services
Psychoanalytic therapy is informed by psychoanalytic theory and principals. Sessions often occur multiple days per week with the aim of facilitating the patient in exploring their inner life. Through frequent meetings and a collaborate therapeutic relationship, patients are able to gain awareness of emotions, conflicts, and ways of thinking that may be interfering with self-fulfillment in multiple domains (e.g., work, school, relationships, and personal satisfaction).
Couples therapy offers a secure opportunity for partners to examine relationship dynamics and communication patterns that may be influencing relational quality. The roles and expectations of each partner are also explored with the aim of fostering new growth and understanding. Additionally, couples therapy deals with divorce, separation, and parenting.
Family therapy is a useful way for members to navigate the influence of communication, family organization, and family history on the their well-being. Families are arranged into many different patterns and steeped in various traditions. The therapist encourages adaptive ways for members to build a solid family foundation.
Psychological evaluations are comprehensive assessments of cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social functioning. Findings are integrated into a narrative report based on clinical interviews, standardized psychological testing, and behavioral observations. These evaluations support diagnostic clarification, treatment planning, personality formulation, and prognosis estimation. I provide assessments in areas including ADHD, learning difficulties, PTSD, and other complex presentations, as well as immigration-related evaluations (family hardship, U Visa, and VAWA).
