Being a human in this world is not easy. Most of us need help with it. By seeking out psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, you’re making intentional space for yourself to step out of the productivity hustle, slow down, and listen to parts of you that have been ignored or pushed aside. What does it feel like when someone really listens? I listen on multiple registers: To the voices inside you that are loud, and quiet, and hidden, and clear; painful, shame-inducing, grief-stricken; creative, aspirational, and joyous. I am attentive to your inner world as well as the sociopolitical surround that impacts livability, access, and potential.
I offer space for deep listening and exploration. I believe anxiety and depression can be understood as messages, and that we build a resilient core inside ourselves which may be both harmful (overly-protective and limiting) and helpful (keeps us alive and going forward). You've made a life already. Is it the one you long for? What else is possible?
Learning how to face failure, discomfort, disappointment, and still choose yourself and the world you wish to build (with the people you love and trust) is a big part of the work of being a person. How might you be able to reconnect to, or find for the first time, joy, pleasure, and creativity to help you grieve, rage, love, and create?
