People come to see me when they are stuck. This painful experience of not being able to find a way forward shows up in many ways: anxiety, career stagnation, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, self-criticism, sexuality, trauma. Speaking offers a way out of this suffering. In our work together, I will invite you to speak about your life and what is on your mind in detail—past and present, fantasy and reality. I will help bring you closer to your desire, conflict, and pain so you can understand the meaning that hides behind your suffering. This work offers a way forward that is more alive.
I facilitate a process that helps you feel less pain and greater freedom in your life. Most importantly, I do this by listening closely, actively, and with care. Psychoanalytic therapy in the way that I practice it addresses the innermost parts of ourselves that remain out of reach in other treatment modalities. It opens up new possibilities for living.
I work with people of diverse experiences, histories, and ways of life. As a psychoanalyst in advanced training, I see adolescents, adults, couples, and polycules in my practice. I invite you to begin the process by calling me or sending me an email.
