Psychoanalysis
As your analyst my job is to create a safe space where you can check out the state of your own mind by expressing whatever thoughts, feelings, concerns, hopes, or desires spontaneously arise during the session.
Many unexamined patterns of daily living function as unconscious solutions to old wounds. In psychoanalysis, we can investigate the unconscious motivations that influence how you perceive yourself, others, and the world.
Exploring the realm of experience that psychoanalysts call "your inner world" gradually helps you to free yourself from life long blind spots and diminish obstacles to realizing your own personal creativity.
Doing psychoanalysis you will discover your own words for anxieties, wishes, dreams, memories, secrets, emotions and fantasies that before may have been wordless. Over time, this process promotes the capacity to be present to yourself and others in radically new ways making new opportunities visible and giving you the energy and confidence to act in the world in new ways.
Time is needed to explore experience deeply. Choosing psychoanalysis involves meeting two, three, or four times a week, usually over a period measured in years. Some patients lay on a couch, others sit up in a chair. The special atmosphere created by the analytic method makes a deep form of emotional learning possible.
The goal of psychoanalysis is the gradual awakening of your own reflective and compassionate relationship to your heart, mind, and to the experience of the complexity and mystery of life itself.
