"The cure for anything is salt water, sweat, tears or the sea"

APPROACH TO TREATMENT
I offer psychoanalysis and psychotherapy and meet with individuals from one to four times a week. A psychoanalytic approach focuses on what unconsciously interferes with long standing underlying issues that have previously been unreachable. Psychoanalysis is more of a commitment as it requires more frequent sessions. The time and intensity of psychoanalysis allow for an involved understanding of self and can lead to lasting change in self esteem, relationship and life satisfaction.
Therapy may begin tentatively or with immense overwhelm. Perhaps this means navigating a transition, responding to an immediate crisis or confronting old ways of living that need to change to live a more meaningful and authentic life. Through this process we jointly attend to your evolving needs and the organizing of your experience.
We will build on your inherent resilience, working collaboratively to uncover and alleviate suffering. The therapeutic relationship is an essential element in facilitating change and I invite ongoing dialogue about how the process is going. We will consider the elements of work, love and play in your life and what aspect may need to be brought into balance.
I am empathic, playful and direct in my care and look forward to hearing from you.
