Evans Wittenberg

Perhaps you have a suspicion that something in your life keeps repeating and it’s costing you. Maybe it isn’t subtle at all. Maybe you find yourself caught in patterns of disconnection, grief, trauma, divorce, or relationships that never quite become what they promised to be. You may long for something different, for a life with more meaning, intimacy, or freedom, but find yourself returning to the same familiar places despite wanting so badly to leave them behind. There can be a painful gap between knowing that another way of living is possible and acting in such a way that will get you there. Let's close this gap.

I don't offer quick fixes that simply help you tolerate the same life you've already been living. Instead, I want to help you understand what keeps you stuck, make sense of the patterns that have come to shape your life, and discover what you actually want for yourself. Most importantly, I want to get you to a point where you can act on those wants.

The aim of therapy or analysis is not to become a different person, but to find a way of living that feels genuinely your own. By loosening the grip of the past and questioning inherited expectations, we can make choices that aren't simply repetitions of what came before, and move toward a life in which your desires have a place.
