As a psychoanalytic practitioner, my skill is to foster both trust and a deepening process. I’ll ask you to speak freely, uncensored, with whatever words come to mind. This is harder than it sounds, but it allows experiences, thoughts, memories, details, and connections, sometimes surprising, to emerge. I'll listen carefully, ask questions, and let you know what I hear. As the process evolves, you'll start to see things you hadn't noticed and hear yourself differently. This work may be intense at times, but it can yield a new sense of self and choice, greater aliveness, and a know-how for aspects of living that can't be taught.
I work with anxiety/depression/anger, inhibitions of work/success/creativity, relationship/family issues, decision-making impasses, self-sabotage/self-destructiveness, sexuality/sexual inhibitions/compulsions, navigating unconventional lifestyle choices, trauma, grief, and major life transitions when radical change, identity, meaning, and loss are at stake.
I work primarily in person. Remote sessions can certainly be effective. That said, meeting together in my office can allow for a freedom and nuance of communication that’s difficult to match.
I work with insurance through out-of-network benefits. Depending on the plan, out-of-network benefits can often sustainably support ongoing, productive therapy.
