“Bright, insightful, experienced , warm & well-trained psychotherapist/psychoanalyst.”
About Me
Approach
The enormous number of stressors we now face daily are unreal: politics, inflation, war, heat, pandemic fatigue, despair, disconnection, and on and on. All of this is tremendously difficult to manage on one's own. Anxiety, anger, depression, resentment, boredom. Exhaustion, sadness, rage, denial, zombie states. If you're struggling with any of this - or any of the other states that often bring people to therapy, like emptiness, grief, rigidity, feeling lost or overwhelmed - it's worth investing the time and effort to get help, get grounded, and figure things out.
Ask a quick question or arrange a time to meet.
Services
Weekly, or more frequent, individual and couples psychotherapy (45 min for indiv.; 60 min for couples). My approach is informed by a contemporary relational psychoanalytic orientation where there is room for humour, pain, anger, sadness, confusion, & all other feelings.
