Practice

I work with those who seek to engage in psychotherapy for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to those who have challenges with or questions regarding: sexuality, gender, purpose, love, the self, the body, identities, intimate relationships, family relationships, professional relationships.

A Lacanian Analysis

An analysis is a process that privileges the speech of the patient*, over any theory. Over time and through the work of speech — the work of making oneself understood, to the practitioner and to oneself — one’s speech becomes clarified. With clarity, one may identify that which one’s speech revolves around, the symptom. While the symptom may cause suffering, it is linked to how one enjoys and lives life.

A Lacanian analysis offers each one a possibility to make use of and to live with one’s symptom in a new and singular way. Through the process that is an analysis, the symptom is refined into something that can be used by the analysand, something precious.

*The patient is the one who does the analyzing. So, “analysand” is a more suitable word, as it emphasizes the activity of the one in analysis.

I invite you to begin the process for yourself and reach out.
