About My Clients

You may function well but are aware of something wrong - a troubling or confusing part of your experience. What you know to be true may not align with what you feel or you may have limited control over your behavior in some areas. Even those who can articulate why they want to start therapy often find that there’s more they were searching for. I think it takes time to work through the layers and find language that fits

My Background and Approach

I recommend every client start at meeting once weekly and then we can adjust the frequency as needed. As part of my training in psychoanalysis, I meet with clients up to 5 times per week. Meeting more frequently is a way to increase the intensity of our work and to provide more containment - to allow what is coming up with more assurance that there is enough structure to hold and work through it.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I see therapy more as healing and adapting than it is eliminating bad behaviors. Sometimes your ways of making it through stop working as well. I think our work together is finding a new way.
