If you feel stuck, ruminative, or disconnected from your own life, and are seeking an engaged and examined life, psychotherapy can help. I deeply enjoy empowering my patients to know themselves and those around them with greater nuance, depth and honesty. Rather than labeling symptoms in a medicalized, detached way, I work to help patients negotiate complex relationships with themselves and those around them. By identifying patterns and the ways we find ourselves "stuck", psychotherapy can help disentangle these impasses, offering a freer way of being in the world.
As a relational psychoanalyst, my focus is careful listening and attention to the mind and body for important information about what parts of the self may need tending to. Often further exploration of our current hangups has deep roots in our early childhood experience. Collaboratively, I work with patients to make these connections, and find greater ease.
I am dedicated to challenging my own assumptions related to race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, faith, and ability. While I do not ascribe to the notion of "competency," as a box to be checked off, I do believe in a discipline of continued learning about oppression and exploring my own role in perpetuating injustice with ongoing peer feedback.
