Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is a process of self-discovery that unfolds within a collaborative therapeutic relationship. It offers a way to understand not only what you think and feel consciously, but also the emotional meanings, conflicts, and patterns that may live outside of awareness.
At times, certain feelings, memories, fears, or desires may feel too painful or overwhelming to fully know. Without realizing it, we may push them away, only to find that they continue to shape our choices, relationships, symptoms, and repeated patterns. This is why we can feel stuck, confused by our own reactions, or caught in ways of living that no longer serve us.
In psychoanalytic work, we slow down and listen carefully to what is beneath the surface. Rather than offering quick advice or focusing only on symptom relief, we become curious about the deeper meanings of your experience. Together, we explore what has been buried, avoided, or not yet put into words.
Because this kind of work develops over time, psychoanalysis often involves meeting more than once a week. The regularity of the meetings creates a space where thoughts, feelings, dreams, memories, and associations can emerge more freely. I encourage you to say whatever comes to mind, because even what seems ordinary, confusing, or unimportant may open the way to greater understanding.
Over time, psychoanalysis can help you feel more connected to yourself, more aware of what shapes your life, and more able to make choices with freedom, depth, and emotional honesty.
Psychoanalytic Supervision for Emerging LPC Associates
I provide supervision inspired by psychoanalytic principles for LPC Associates who are seeking a thoughtful, relational, and developmentally responsive supervisory experience. My approach emphasizes clinical thinking, ethical practice, case formulation, professional identity, and the meaningful use of self in treatment.
Supervision offers a structured and supportive space where supervisees can reflect honestly on their clinical work within a clear ethical and evaluative frame. Together, we attend to the clinical material, the supervisee’s emotional experience, and the relational dynamics that develop in both treatment and supervision, including transference, countertransference, enactment, and parallel process.
I tailor supervision to each supervisee’s stage of development. I encourage curiosity, accountability, and confidence while helping clinicians think with clarity and compassion in the face of complexity, uncertainty, and emotional intensity.
My goal is to support the growth of an authentic clinical voice. Supervision is not only about building skills. It is also about strengthening clinical judgment, ethical awareness, professional identity, and the capacity to use oneself responsibly in treatment.
Throughout the supervisory process, client welfare, legal and ethical standards, accountability, and ongoing professional development remain central.
Group Therapy
Groups are amazing. We are all born into a group, and continue to operate in them every day. That is why group therapy works. It is a place where one can be re-familied, meaning a healthy group can aid one to learn and to grow in ways that perhaps your original family did not. Most of us struggle with either conflict or intimacy, if not both. A group is a great way to better understand how to relate with others and work on more effective ways to relate.
Couples Therapy
Struggling in your most significant relationship undermines personal and family functioning not to mention the common side-effects of depression, anxiety, and alcoholism. As a couple, your desire to seek help when you are in distress is such a brave and wise step. I am committed to providing the needed support and understanding about how to restore your relationship.
