Etymologically, psychotherapy means to tend to the soul. Analysts are psychotherapists who have undergone many years of rigorous post-graduate training which enables us to work at a deeper level, to understand complex unconscious dynamics with more precision and to better tend to the conditions that promote meaning, healing and growth. Basically, my role as an analyst is to help you understand, experience and assimilate what you don’t know about yourself in a way that enriches your experience of life.

While Freudian psychoanalysis refers to a particular method where a patient lies on a couch and attends four to six sessions per week with little active therapist involvement, Jungian analysis refers more to way that the analyst understands psychological material than on a specialized treatment configuration. Jungian analysis serves to initiate and expand an imaginal process that promotes healing through a precise, multi-leveled understanding of psychological material. In short, analysis is oriented towards one’s relationship to both inner and outer life rather than just to outer life.


In Jungian work, we would typically meet once or twice per week. The work can be short-term, focusing on solving a particular problem, or it can be ongoing, focusing on enlarging one’s experience of one’s self and one’s life. Generally, we sit across from each other and have a conversation. Jungian work is collaborative in that we both have a role to play. Dream analysis is often an important part of the work, for our dreams offer a glimpse into our personalities that is wider than our conscious point of view. If you find that you do not dream, this will not impede your process, though. Our first session or two can be thought of as a consultation, where we get to know one another and determine whether working together would be beneficial.

I work psychotherapeutically and analytically with individual adults and couples. I also provide consultation and supervision to analysts, licensed psychotherapists, analytic training candidates and psychotherapy training candidates.

My fees are reasonable and I am happy to discuss them in our initial phone call. While I am not “in-network” with any insurance providers, many plans offer “out-of-network” benefits which allow you to be reimbursed for a percentage of my fee. Because I am fully licensed in California and New York State, you should be eligible for reimbursement. Please check with your insurance company to determine whether or not you have out-of-network benefits and what those benefits are if that is a factor in your decision.

I meet both in person and/or virtually in California and virtually in New York and internationally. Because I am not licensed to practice in other states, I am not taking on new U.S. patients other than in California and New York. Virtual work is usually via Zoom or telephone, but I am also open to other platforms.
