About

Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a unique practice of listening to the unconscious undertones of life: what one wants, and what gets in the way of achieve it. As a tool to understand what our bodies and minds are communicating through anxiety, addiction and repetitive patterns, talk therapy can build links and bring to the foreground what has been kept hidden or secret. By understanding the function and survival mechanism of our defenses, and by connecting free-associative speech to our desires, we are given a new choice as to what we want to hold on to, and what we can let go of. I am a NYS licensed psychoanalyst in private practice. My former career as an artist, photographer and creative in a corporate field, as well as originally from another country, adds to my foundation and guides the way I work. I have published a number of interviews and articles on topics such as thirdness, presence and absence, anxiety and melancholia.
