Psychoanalytic Therapists in Lafayette, CA
It is my belief that everyone navigates their way through their family of origin and early environment by developing strategies and coping techniques, essentially doing the best one can in the circumstances. Later, these ways of handling relationships and stressors can become limiting. Members of couples and families can also develop entrenched ways of relating that become partially based on assumptions. Frustration, anxiety, disappointment and resentment can result. Psychotherapy enables you to understand the evolution of these patterns and develop more choices in how you respond and relate to others.

I provide an easy and supportive in-depth psychoanalytic approach to help you understand yourself and make lasting changes.
Are you finding yourself caught in self defeating patterns? Are you anxious or depressed and don't know why? Maybe you are hard on yourself in ways you aren't to others. Or, do you find yourself overly critical of others? Do you wish you were happier, more at peace? We all try and want to live at our best, but many of us find ourselves pulled back into old patterns before we recognize our actions. We cope in many different ways or develop symptoms that are often self destructive. Why do we do this?

My practice specializes in preconception care through parenting children to the age of 5. This includes reflecting on solo parenting, fertility struggles and loss, the use of donors & gestational carriers, support throughout pregnancy and adapting to the emotional, relational & identity changes due to parenting.
I work with individuals wanting to focus on finding relief from symptoms of stress, relationship challenges and struggling with current or past trauma. Often my clients have a feeling of fatigue, overwhelm, feel on edge, question their sense of self or parenting, and are experiencing a loss of joy or connection to others.
