What's My Approach to Therapy?

My practice offers an unconditional welcome to speak what feels most real for you — freely and gradually, without censorship or judgement. Dreams and fantasies. Memories and traumas. Moments of love and sexuality as lived in your relationships across time. Crises and complaints. Stagnating repetitions that return, again and again.

Such acts of speech are raised with dignity to what is most mysterious and alive within you. You are invited to read more deeply into yourself and to voice the “other scenes” that appear between the lines of daily experience.

Lacanian psychoanalysis takes what troubles and pains you and opens its interior dimensions through the spoken encounter of each session. Over time, this gives rise to renewed energy and a singular knowledge, making possibilities for desire to be woven into your life in creative ways. It is this sustained act of discovery that makes lasting change possible and brings new choices within reach.

My Practice & Services

I am authorized by the PSYPACT commission to practice interjurisdictional telepsychology (APIT). This credential allows me to provide analytic work to residents in over 39 participating states. Main areas of concentration include the Washington DC Metro Area, Chicago, Evanston, Seattle, and Philadelphia.

I work virtually. The psychoanalytic session can be conducted anywhere—in the privacy of your own home, or in any embodied way that feels right for you. No interruptions to your daily routines required. Take the session up entirely as your own in a manner that best suits your individuality.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I have extensive clinical experience in the domains I have checked here. However, Lacanian psychoanalysis is an inherently de-pathologizing and non-normalizing practice that contacts what is most human inside you speaking in your symptoms.
