I'm a practice Lacanian psychoanalyst who is a member of the New Lacanian School (NLS), the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP), and a Doctor of Clinical Social Work (DSW).
My clinical style is collaborative but non-directive, meaning the patient (the expert in their lived experience) leads our work together, as I use my clinical skills to reveal what is happening under the surface of the patient's speech and draw attention to unconscious manifestations. Through this process, I work with my patients to co-create space for those innermost beliefs, often hidden and originating from family history, to be examined.
The work I do is a form of "slow therapy." It aims to create a deeper understanding of the patient's complex history and the symptoms that have emerged as a response to what has caused the patient to suffer throughout their life.
This process does not offer a "quick fix," I believe that the results it achieves are meaningful and will be long-lasting.
I'm currently accepting new patients for both remote (telehealth) and in person sessions at my office in downtown Downers Grove. The office is a short (3-5 min) walk from the Main Street Downers Grove Metra stop, which makes it accessible to patients in the western suburbs and individuals commuting from Chicago.
I look forward to working with you!
