About

Each of us carries a unique inner language, full of unconscious meanings, patterns, and echoes of the past. This inner world is shaped not only by our families and personal histories but also by the larger systems in which we live. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, xenophobia, and more leave lasting imprints on our lives. By giving voice to what has been hidden, these layers can be brought to light, understood with compassion, and gradually loosen their grip.

My practice is grounded in an anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and trauma-informed lens, because I believe real healing means attending to both the personal and the systemic, together. Most of all, I see therapy as a deeply collaborative and authentic process. I invite you to speak freely, without judgment or censorship, and I will meet you with warmth, curiosity, and care. This work is not about “fixing” you, but about creating a space where nothing is off limits—where freedom, voice, and new ways of being can emerge.

FAQ’s
How long is a session? Are you conducting in person sessions?

The length of psychotherapy session is either 45 minutes or 50 minutes. Please discuss this with your therapist, but both arrangements are acceptable.

We offer both—in-person, and virtual treatment. Please discuss your preference with your therapist.

How often should I see my therapist?

The frequency of work is determined between you and your therapist. However, we do believe a higher frequency has an important effect on the outcome of the treatment. Most of our therapists work with their patients at more than once-a-week frequency in psychotherapy. However, if you are in psychoanalytic treatment, the frequency is at least 4 times (sometimes we offer 3 times) a week.

How long does the therapy last?

Believe it or not, this is by far the most common question we are asked. There is a famous quote from Freud, “Our answer is like the answer given by the Philosopher to the Wayfarer in Aesop's fable. When the Wayfarer asked how long a journey lay ahead, the Philosopher merely answered ‘Walk!’” The duration of treatment depends on the individual circumstances. Therefore, he says, “[T]he question as to the probable duration of a treatment is almost unanswerable.” At TheraBridge we hold true to Freud’s word, “Walk!” We help our patients walk the path and over the bridge towards a future where new memories and new experiences bring happiness and joy.

Is my information confidential?

Yes, your information is kept confidential. In case we need to coordinate care with other medical professionals including your psychiatrist, we will obtain your consent, though the exchange of patient information amongst medical providers is considered HIPAA compliant.

What kind of therapy do you provide?

At TheraBridge, all our clinicians are trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis.
