A universe stranger than we can suppose gave us personhood. We are thrown into this life where we remain a mystery unto ourselves. For many, the mystery of self becomes foregrounded only when life proves more complex, tragic, or disappointing than expected. During these times, people stumble backwards into a crisis of premise causing them to wonder: How did I become so alone and can anything be done about it? How did I come to lead a life that has so little to do with me? Why is it so hard to know how I feel and what I want? These questions bring people to psychotherapy seeking a way forward.
Psychodynamic therapy (modern psychoanalytic treatment) is a mutual exploration in the service of a life worth living. At the heart of this process is a therapeutic relationship marked by an uncommon freedom to think, feel, and play in your own way. On this basis, you will feel seen and heard like never before.
We will explore how you were shaped by early relationships and what you bring into current ones. We will hold dialogue with the “dark matter” of your emotional and imaginal life which constrains you in subtle ways. In time, you will recover (or develop for the first time) a sense of innocence that is nuanced, dignified, and life-giving.
