Psychotherapy
Deeper attention for what keeps returning.
For anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and recurring emotional patterns, with attention to personal history and patterns outside awareness.
Psychotherapy informed by psychoanalytic training, exploring how personal history, emotion, relationships, and patterns outside awareness shape present difficulties. The work addresses symptoms while seeking to understand what keeps them in place, using practical methods when helpful.
Where attention goes.
What the situation means.
What repeats under pressure.
Common entry points
- When the issue is no longer only performance.
- When anxiety, depression, grief, shame, or relationships are shaping the work.
- When responsibility, visibility, or isolation carries emotional weight.
- When insight exists, but the pattern keeps returning.
- When coaching would move too quickly past what needs to be understood.
What the work looks like
We begin with what brings you in, but do not stay only at the surface. A symptom, conflict, block, or relationship pattern can provide information about how you have had to adapt.
My approach is psychoanalytic and relational at its base, informed by contemporary neuroscience and neuropsychoanalysis. Cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, acceptance-based, and skills-based methods are used when structure is needed.
The therapeutic relationship is part of the work. Safety, trust, and what unfolds between us can make recurring expectations and protective patterns visible enough to understand and revise.
Some sessions are structured and direct. Some require more space. The work follows what the material requires.
