Item Description

People usually come to therapy seeking relief from problems that have become intrusive, limiting or painful. Others can’t quite name what troubles them, but are nagged by a sense of disappointment or aimlessness. Psychoanalytic therapy is an opportunity to give story to your hidden experience. Through talking in session, initially about the issues that brought you in, you will start to become aware of thoughts and feelings you didn’t know you had, of desires hovering below consciousness. My job is to help you connect to your inner life, to your story, and to provide an atmosphere of safety and curiosity where we explore it together. The process itself generates insight and emotional awareness. From there we work to transform what you’re learning about yourself into positive change and self-assertion.

My primary training is psychoanalytic, but because no two clients are alike, I use a variety of approaches, adapting my style to the unique character, struggles and goals of each individual. Deep, attentive listening is always at the heart of my practice, as is a collaborative spirit. I draw from psychoanalytic theory not only for the evocative beauty of the ideas, but because, in my experience, psychodynamic treatment offers the best path to lasting results if not an easy one. Change is generated from within the patient, not imposed from without, and is thus more true to the individual when it emerges.
