You made it here which means a courageous part of you is seeking understanding, meaning, and healing. As a psychoanalyst, I am trained to listen for the soft whispers of desire and hope living beneath the mountain of fears, disappointment and despair accumulated through a lifetime of heartbreak. Through deep listening, exploration, and a little play, we will come to know the various ways your pain story continues to speak. We will examine the unique self-protective behaviors you developed to keep you safe and how these feelings and behaviors may be getting in the way of the intimacy, connection and internal freedom you are seeking.
I believe, as humans, our vitality and creative energy is deeply linked to our vulnerability. For almost 20 years, I have worked with clients to reclaim a robust connection and agency with their tenderness, longing, and expansiveness. Whether you are depressed, anxious, or stuck, I will work with you to uncover your life force and authentic life direction.
Please reach out! I offer a free 10 min consultation where I work to hear the complexity of your story and think with you about fittedness and the best course of treatment. If we are not a fit for any reason, whether that is approach, schedule or fee, my goal is to help you find someone who is. You deserve a high quality space to feel and heal.
