About
I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy - a warm and supportive approach that accompanies people through a deeper exploration of unconscious thinking, including dreams and long-held relational patterns that are outside of one's awareness. Often people are stuck repeating something or attracting the same experiences again and again. The psychoanalytic process is carefully designed to help you move through these stuck points and work deeply with complex aspects of the self so you can emerge to more genuinely appreciate your life. Through it, you should notice significant changes in how you understand yourself. Good psychotherapy is much more than simply a reduction in daily symptoms. It's a transformative process that leaves us with a great appreciation for our lives and for the immensity and breadth of human suffering. It involves recognizing our unrecognized past, grieving painful limitations, exploring conflicted desire, and sustaining that which is real.
