Psychoanalysis & Psychotherapy

Psychoanalysis ought to be better known as meaningful therapy. This developmental process of bridging your understanding of your current state, with the parts of you operating underneath perception is about the significance of your interior experience. It’s an alignment—and/or realignment—of your awareness, bringing forth facets of you and your unconscious life together, allowing for the realization of your true, human potential. Once known as the “talking cure,” today, more accurately, it is known as the healing of the whole and real person—not just an excision of symptoms as if they’re separate from our selves. It is medicinal work, treating the cause of the fever, not just reducing your temperature. There is much, much more to you than you may realize.

The Work

Humor me for a moment: I am your Psychic Sherpa (patent pending). I've walked up many, many mountains but never yours. I am here to reflect you towards your self, towards the uncompromised, actual self. I practice with a focus and consideration upon the unconscious landscape, an in-depth orientation to your motivating forces and animating concerns, unearthing the engines that generate both felt symptoms and unfelt inner conflict. I work with personhood resolution, not so much with band-aids, or pseudo-solution; your treatment ought to involve much more than mere coping skills after all. I do remain ‘evidence-based’, ‘trauma-focused’ and ‘client-centered’, but only insofar as where you are located, i.e. where the mind and heart meet the brain—the discipline of neuro-psychoanalysis. I am keen on treating the most stubborn pain, especially if past attempts and therapy have rendered you stuck, anxious, hopeless and/or frustrated. Plainly—and maybe lamely—put: I am helping you help yourself. I am accompanying you to see parts of your real self you may not know of, you may not want to or you may not expect to. We are sharing in an exploration of your mind, your experience and the attached person, where thoughts, feelings and behaviors are meaningful and useful polestars of your evolution.
