About My Clients
You are tired of venting to those who minimize your complaints about the unfair ways society functions. You are looking for someone to see your many layers, and don’t want to waste time explaining your politics. You want to be understood.
My Background and Approach
I’m a therapist who practices primarily psychoanalytically and relationally. For the most part, my style is relational. Basically, what that means is that I think the relationship in therapy is the treatment—almost entirely. Therapy is a container, but eventually, the way that we are in relation to others shows up in our relationship with our therapist. The most important part of the treatment is to confront this with honesty and delicacy. My clients would describe me as honest, direct, and insightful. I also use a lot of humor in my sessions. I primarily work with leftist clients who recognize that their mental health is affected not only by isolated experiences, but also by the political and social conditions around them. I care about incorporating these realities and values into my therapy sessions.
