Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is a form of depth therapy that is well suited to resolving long-standing difficulties. People who come to psychoanalysis usually have a deep curiosity about the nature of the mind.and a willingness to dive deep to get to the root of things. Some are creative people who want more access to the riches of the unconscious mind. Some have been in other kinds of therapy and are ready to really unravel those old knots. Some are mental heath professionals who feel called to do their own deep work so they can be of service to others. And many have struggled for much of their lives with a feeling of not really being deeply seen or understood.
Psychoanalysis happens at a frequency of three to five sessions per week. There is an invitation to share everything that comes to mind, even the stuff we usually don't say. We work to form a strong, trusting, honest, and alive relationship with curiosity, kindness, and growth.
By the way, psychoanalysis has come a long way since Freud's time. I practice contemporary relational psychoanalysis, which means I'll always offer my reflections on what you share, I'll strive to forge an warm and honest relationship with you, and I'm interested in your dreams, your strange ideas, the life of your body, your spiritual self, and the oscillations of your heart.
I bring my Zen sensibilities to my work as an analyst. I do not have a particular technique I use to incorporate meditation into my clinical work, but rather speak with each individual client about their experience, interest, and inclinations. I often help people understand themselves in line with Buddhist teachings and support clients with spiritual practices.

Psychotherapy
I also offer psychotherapy once or twice a week for people who are suitable for this modality. In therapy, we will focus on the parts of your life that are distressing you and work to understand and resolve these challenges. Psychotherapy is best suited to people with situational (loss, life transitions) rather than long-standing difficulties.
