I like working with complex human issues that require the sensitivity and patience psychoanalytic/psychodynamic approach provides.
An ideal client would be one, I think, that has arrived at a place that tells them they very much need to change or understand something in their lives, and are ready to begin work on that. I believe that everyone struggles with the actual making of those changes even when acknowledged. The willingness to seek out help represents the courage necessary to move toward those goals of understanding and change.

Intrusive thoughts can be scary and overwhelming. Compulsions can seem inescapable. Anxiety can come with no obvious reasons and can make our days difficult and exhausting. Anxiety, fear, sadness, and shame can affect our day-to-day lives. Sometimes we can feel that these emotions are consuming our thoughts and actions. Therapy can help people understand and manage these emotions.

Psychoanalytic Therapists

Does psychoanalytic therapy work?

Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?

Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?

Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?

Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
