I am a Contemporary Psychoanalyst who trained for ten years at The Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis in Los Angeles.
Contemporary Psychoanalysis is not based on a hierarchy and old theories but is based on the cutting edge of scientific information as it applies to all levels of development.This includes current psychoanalytic studies plus research in child development, memory, neurobiology, and culture.
Contemporary psychoanalysis is an advanced method for making sense of ourselves and the world around us. In our complex world, a contemporary form of psychoanalysis is a treatment for emotional discomfort or pain, an avenue for self-discovery and personal growth, and a means toward establishing and enhancing relationships with others and the world at large.
The structure and process are organic in that it uniquely evolves from the respectful and interactive exchanges of thecontemporary psychoanalyst and the client holding onto the basic truth that each person is different and to be honored. Contemporary psychoanalysis is an interpersonal experience that emphasizes the healing properties of two or more people collaboratively making sense of life in ways that are meaningful to the client. Unlike traditional psychoanalysis which holds the analyst as an authority regarding what is true about the client, contemporary perspectives emphasize the meaning of the client's unique and subjective experiences.
Contemporary psychoanalysis offers you the opportunity to deepen and look more closely at your relationship with yourself - the patterns, the judgments, the moods, and the stuck or dead places. In this more deeply discovery process, I will support and assist you in developing compassion, acceptance, creativity and the capacity to listen more truly to your deepest desires, unfulfilled dreams,and unmet longings.
As our work progresses - this growing awareness starts to develop a truer sense of your real hidden voice that accompanies you as you begin to make changes in your relationship with yourself, your loved ones, and your world.
The contemporary psychoanalytic environment offers you an emotionally safe place to be heard and truly listened to. I listen from a deeply intuitive place in order to really hear, and help you skillfully decipher the deeper challenges and dilemmas that you have been living with.
Our meetings initially will help build trust that allows our work to be a true expression of what is most important to the real you - your essence - your authenticity.
Over time as we connect more deeply, an opening begins to happen that shores up what has been held back, laid aside or forgotten about.

The unclear waters of challenge allow you an opportunity to grow and empowers changes to bloom in your life - like the lotus flower which grows in murky waters and becomes an amazing creation.
