About My Clients
As a psychoanalyst trained in social work, I bring a perspective that is sensitive to issues significant to marginalized groups, and have years of experience working with people of color, low-income and senior individuals, former cult members, and those in the neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, polyamorous, kink, drag, and sex work communities.
My Background and Approach
Why we want what we want often remains a mystery to us. In a time when a person is bound by capitalism, family duty, and cultural policing, we often we focus on what we're 'supposed' to want, and lose our sense of what we actually want. This leads to anxiety, depression, and even psychosis. I practice a non-behavioral and non-normalizing approach to therapy, which is meant to help find what it is we truly want, and separate it from what others want from us. Psychoanalysis is a long-term engagement with the unconscious which aims for fundamental and transformational changes in one's experience of the world by means of dialogue with one's conflicting desires.
