We are more mysterious to ourselves than we know. Rather than explore this mystery, however, we are conditioned to seek the quick fix -- diagnosis, medication, self-help books and worksheets -- in order to meet the grinding demand for maximum productivity. But ignorance of the unconscious not only compromises our creativity and potential, it also invariably results in significant pain. Our relationships suffer, our goals remain unattainable, we develop harmful habits, we may even experience depression, anger, anxiety, and despair. Quick fixes provide temporary symptom relief, but our deeper conflicts endure, and sometimes worsen.

I work psychoanalytically to help you explore the unconscious. In a safe environment, through deep listening and asking questions, we explore your whole life, including dreams, fantasies, desires, troubling thoughts, and repetitive patterns. I assist you in speaking and feeling more freely, and support your capacity to create a fuller, more satisfying life.

I am very affirmative of racial, gender, sexual, and religious diversity, and welcome anyone interested in psychoanalytic work. I specialize in working with people who have a curiosity about their essential mysteriousness, and are willing to pursue the deep, at times arduous, and potentially transformative work of inward exploration.
