Why Psychotherapy?
Most of us come to therapy not because something broke — but because something has been quietly wrong for a long time. Patterns repeat. Relationships disappoint. The life you thought you'd have isn't the one you're living.
Psychotherapy helps you understand why. Not just what happened — but how your history, biology, and relationships came together to create the person you are today. That understanding is where real change begins.
My Approach to Psychotherapy
An awareness of your history, biology, and emotions and how they came together to create who you are is the goal of psychotherapy. We work toward having a more fulfilling life, work, and love.
Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis
Both psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis work at the same depth, uncovering the unconscious patterns, defenses, and beliefs that shape your inner world and your relationships. The difference is in intensity and commitment.
Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is typically one to two sessions per week. It is active and focused, helping you understand the themes and patterns that are affecting your life right now, and where they come from. It is a meaningful commitment that most people find highly effective.
Psychoanalysis is the most intensive form of this work, three to four sessions per week. It goes further, aiming for profound and lasting character change at the deepest level. It is for people who are ready to commit fully to that process and want transformation, not just relief.
