Knowing a pattern exists doesn’t always make it easier to change.
Our work starts with what you’re facing now. My approach draws on psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and we bring in the past when it helps us understand or work through a present concern.
I listen carefully and take an active part in our conversations. I ask questions, offer feedback, and help you consider other perspectives. We might work through a difficult interaction, prepare for a conversation, or think about something new to try.
I want our sessions to give you something useful to take with you. Sometimes that’s a clearer understanding of yourself, sometimes a different way of seeing a situation, and sometimes a practical step to try between sessions. We’ll keep talking about what is helping and what you need from our work.
A person to think with
I want to understand what life is like for you, including the things you find difficult to explain. What’s been happening? What have you tried? What do you wish could be different?
My background includes graduate study in expressive therapy and postgraduate training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. These experiences have shaped the way I listen: with attention to your history, your relationships, and the ways you express yourself.
Outside my clinical work, I develop creative projects, including LifeAcre. Creating something of my own has given me another perspective on the uncertainty, visibility, and choices that can come with pursuing meaningful work.
LifeAcre’s reflective and educational resources are separate from psychotherapy.
