Psychoanalytic therapy
keeps on working
even after therapy is over.

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is talk therapy. Talk therapy means that you and I have a conversation about all aspects of yourself, including what is bothering you. Sessions are usually once or twice a week. Talking is the medium through which you explore your feelings and come to understand yourself, with my guidance and support.

I help you focus on the issues that you want to change, that are in the way of you having the life that you want. I explore with you how your childhood experiences have shaped your view of the present. We also focus on your relationships – how they have shaped your personality in childhood, and how problematic relationships in the present hark back to your past.

Through this exploration, I may be able to identify a self-defeating pattern of relating that you may not be aware of and/or cannot escape (like choosing unavailable romantic partners). By leveraging our therapeutic relationship as well, we have an opportunity to uncover and rework some of these recurring patterns. This type of introspective analysis, done with my guidance, helps you grow out of unconscious, damaging relationship patterns and frees you up to choose romantic partners who are well-matched to satisfy your emotional needs. A process of personal transformation is thereby set in motion, with enough momentum and clarity to continue even after therapy ends.

I work with all kinds of people. Many of my patients are professionals and executives, like lawyers, doctors, therapists, people in finance and managers.

As an example, I work with professionals who have devoted their lives to their jobs but who don’t have a satisfying personal life. Does that sound like you?

As I have done with patients in the past, I can help you explore your fears and other emotions concerning your personal life to develop a better connection with your loved ones.

I can also work with you to identify and overcome barriers to success in your personal or professional life.
