My approach
Psychoanalytic therapy takes time. It is not the right choice for everyone, and I say that upfront. What it offers is a way of understanding yourself that goes well beneath the surface: not just what you do, but why, and where that comes from. I work relationally, which means the therapeutic relationship itself is part of the material. What happens between us in sessions tells us something important. I work with adults only, and I prefer to meet twice a week when possible, at least to start.
Is this a good fit?
My clients are typically people who have tried other approaches and found them useful but incomplete. They want to understand themselves, not just manage themselves. They're willing to sit with discomfort and uncertainty. They're curious. If you've been in therapy before and left feeling like you only scratched the surface, that's worth talking about. I do a two-session consultation before we commit to an ongoing arrangement.
