Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy

How I Work

After the initial consultation session, we will decide on the frequency for our work together. Most often we will meet 1-3 times weekly, at regularly scheduled times. In many ways it is simple—we follow whatever is present—what you’re feeling, thinking, dreaming, or what problems are currently showing up in your life. My approach is psychoanalytic and relational: we pay close attention to the patterns that show up in your life and to the present-moment texture of our dialogue. I work with curiosity and patience, taking the stance of co-explorer of you and your life. I don’t hurry or hand out fixes; we let understanding grow until change happens naturally. The aim is simple: more contact with your own life, so it can be lived more fully.
