About
People come to see me when they are stuck. You've achieved success, but you repeat patterns in your thinking, behavior, and relationships. You lack meaning and purpose. You struggle to live in the present. Your pain may show up as anxiety, depression, relationship and career difficulties, issues with sexuality, or in your body. Psychoanalysis is a talking cure that addresses the root causes of unhappiness. Through this process, you'll gain a new understanding of what brought you to where you are. It will open a path to your desire and a new knowledge of what you want in life. This practice offers a way forward that is more alive. I'll invite you to speak about your life and what is on your mind, including difficult thoughts and feelings that you may not be able to speak about elsewhere. Psychoanalysis focuses on exploring the material you bring in with attention to the unconscious, aiming to build unique solutions rather than giving standardized advice. Psychoanalysis is effective.
