The willingness to examine oneself—with honesty, curiosity, wonder, but also ambivalence and doubt—might be one of the bravest achievements of any human life. Acknowledging and respecting that courage in clients is my first sacred duty as a therapist. From there, we talk. We explore the unconscious dynamics of your life. We work together on getting un-stuck, grasping the multiple ways we can live with others on this beautiful yet fragile world, and building something new for yourself and for future generations.
I endeavor to provide a ritual-like time and space to work through my clients’ emotional lives toward ends of transformation, healing/remediation, repair, play, and creation. My approach to psychoanalysis and psychotherapy is to understand the role of one’s past in the present in order to create a better future.
With a background in anthropology, I also find therapy to be an exercise where the strange things about ourselves and others are made familiar as much as familiar things about the same are made strange. I welcome clients from all cultural backgrounds, genders, sexual orientations, and racial/ethnic identities who seek to understand and transform their lives.
