I am trained in a contemporary, relational, psychoanalytic approach to therapy. That means our sessions will feel less like a workshop or training and more like an open-ended experience. I bring my whole self, even when I am quiet. The approach is as complex as your problems are. It is based on the idea that individual symptoms are only durably relieved when the entire person – their life history, social context and body – are considered as a whole.
Like most therapists, the themes of mood, trauma and grief are pervasive in the work I do. I have a particular focus on:
Discovery and conflict related to identity or sexuality
Existential and socio-political burdens
Aging, illness, disability and health anxiety
Inhibitions related to desire and creativity
