Psychodynamic Therapy in NYC for Identity, Gender & Religious Trauma

Exploring the intersections of the unconscious, identity, and desire
A Place to Unfold...
A Place to Unfold...
Therapy can be a place to loosen what has been wound around you — the stories, beliefs, and expectations that have shaped how you live and love.
Many of the people I work with are navigating questions of gender, sexuality, faith, and identity. They may feel anxious, untethered, ashamed, or quietly restless — even when their life looks stable from the outside.
This work is not about quick fixes. It is about listening carefully to the stories your symptoms carry and making space for something more honest and alive to emerge.
You might be here because:
You are deconstructing your faith and not sure how to make sense of it all
You are exploring your gender identity or sexuality
You're caught in repeating relationship patterns
You carry shame that feels difficult to name
You are successful outwardly but unsettled internally
You long for depth — not just coping skills

Relationship patterns and intimacy
Shame and internalized beliefs

Grief and major life transitions
How I Work
How I Work
This work is shaped less by a single technique and more by a way of listening and relating.
Psychoanalytically informed
Your struggles are not random. We take time to understand how your symptoms formed, what they protect, and what they express. Rather than rushing to eliminate discomfort, we explore its history and logic.Depth-Oriented
We slow down. We pay attention to patterns, contradictions, and what feels charged or difficult to articulate. Change unfolds through insight and sustained attention.Attentive to the body
Emotions and trauma often register physically. We notice how experience lives in the body and make room for affect, sensation, and shifts that words alone may not capture.
