Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist · Houston, Texas

I am a psychoanalytic psychotherapist located in Houston’s Montrose neighborhood. I work with adults experiencing difficulties in their relationships and emotional lives, as well as questions of identity, intimacy, and desire. What initially brings someone into therapy may be a symptom, a strained relationship, or a sense of being caught in familiar patterns. Rather than trying to resolve these experiences too quickly, we become curious about what might lie beneath them. A symptom is rarely just itself; it can also express desires, conflicts, and traces of personal history that have not yet found a place to be known or spoken. Over time, the work often develops into a deeper inquiry into one’s inner life: who one is, what one wants, and why intimacy can feel both deeply wanted and difficult to sustain.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy offers a particular kind of relationship in which these experiences can gradually come into view. Through speaking and being listened to, what has been difficult to know, feel, or put into words can begin to emerge. In that process, something new can become possible.
