My Approach to Therapy
Welcome. Are you ready for the work necessary to make real, enduring change? Do you have a troubling personal issue or feel a general dissatisfaction? My orientation is to focus on the unconscious, the elusive essence of the problem. A powerful process unfolds when change occurs at this level of the mind. This opens space for authentic personal transformation.
I provide psychoanalysis, psychotherapy, clinical supervision, and psychological evaluations. I work with individuals, couples, and families, and I offer services in both Spanish and English.
My Practice & Services
I am a Lacanian psychoanalyst with a PhD in clinical psychology from Saybrook University, an MM in jazz performance from The New England Conservatory of Music, and a BA in philosophy from Western Connecticut State University (WCSU). I serve as an editor for the European Journal of Psychoanalysis (https://www.journal-psychoanalysis.eu). I am the Clinic Director of The Clinic Without Walls and adjunct faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS). I have extensive training in humanistic-existential modalities and over 20 years of experience in Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice.
My Therapy Focus
Lacanian analysis presents an opportunity to work through suffering and to produce a real transformation. Unlike psychotherapy and some other forms of psychoanalysis, the Lacanian treatment focuses on speech and the unconscious. In doing so, the fundamental structure of a problem can be revealed thereby opening up the possibility of cutting it at the root. In particular, Lacanian analysis is well suited for longstanding andor serious issues and that have been previously impossible to resolve. If interested in a personal analysis, please call me directly so as to determine if, and how, we might work together.
