I practice Lacanian Psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis is a talking work, or therapy, which aims to make an absolute difference to suffering. Lacan's psychoanalysis is based in the idea that the unconscious is structured like language. What you say reveals the unconscious processes that underlie any issues that are problematic for you, or recur. Psychoanalysis is the safe space where you can come to talk freely, without censorship and your analyst listens. There is no "correct" way to speak; the work of psychoanalysis is to find your own unique voice, especially of your unconscious.

My psychology practice empowers women to feel confident and hopeful as they navigate major life transitions. Whether you're rediscovering your identity, processing relationship changes, exploring new career paths, stepping into motherhood, grieving a loss, or facing the unexpected, these experiences can feel overwhelming. You may feel stuck, uncertain, and questioning who you are. Racing thoughts, self-doubt, and expectations can make it hard to move forward. Change often brings a mix of emotions—fear, grief, and uncertainty. It’s easy to feel tempted to give up on working through challenges, but you don’t have to face this alone.
