About My Clients
Clients reach out for their own singular reasons which unfold over the course of the work. Many start with concerns about anxiety, depression, relationship and sex issues, career challenges, existential worries, and hard-to-name dissatisfaction and discontent. Couples often want to reduce fighting and repetitive loops, get more of what they want (intimacy, communication), and enjoy themselves more.
My Background and Approach
I work from a psychoanalytic perspective which affirms the absolute singularity of each client and their symptoms and the uniqueness of each client's speech. As we listen to your speech, repetitions of difficulties, habits and behaviors resistant to change or other forms of therapy come forward. I listen in a way that is generally uncommon in daily life. I invite you to speak about your life and challenges as well as often dismissed areas such as your dreams, daydreams, and fantasies. These various forms of speech give direction and guidance to your underlying symptoms and support the process of connecting to your own desire.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The session room is unlike any place in our culture. I believe in the value of having someone who you can say anything to who is committed to your total privacy and to being nonjudgmental about what is said. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirmative, kink and poly/open relationship aware. I take seriously the impact of Whiteness, and value the unique experiences of BIPOC clients. I offer individual and couples psychotherapy (1-2 times a week) and psychoanalysis (2-5 times a week). I invite you to reach out for a free 15 minute consultation.
