Something in you is insisting, asking to be heard. You might experience this insistence as anxiety, depression, or a feeling of being stuck. Psychoanalysis offers a unique way of working with speech, loosening painful knots and creating more humor, more surprise, and more pleasure. I invite you to speak freely about anything and everything that’s on your mind. I will listen to you carefully and without judgment. We will explore your dreams, your fantasies, your memories, and the patterns that characterize your suffering and make it difficult to pursue what you want—or perhaps even to know what that could be. Over time, your speech will guide us into unraveling what is painful in your life, opening the door to your desire. I will work alongside you to create a place where you can articulate and discover the logics that cause your suffering, and facilitate your own creative process of engendering more freedom to choose the life you want to live. Many people have had the experience of reaching out for help, only to encounter more attempts to “cure” what is queerest and most singular in them. Far from trying to cure you, our work will aim toward bringing out precisely what makes you you. I welcome every form of difference. If you are curious about working with me, I encourage you to call me today.
