About
We create personal narratives to make sense of our subjective experience of life. Embedded in our narrative, are the internalized images of ourselves that we draw on to explain our lives (e.g. unworthy, undesirable, shameful, superior, unappreciated etc.). In therapy we examine the images that so often lead us to make the unconscious choices that return us to the painfully familiar circumstances that have come to define our life. As we become aware of the ways in which our images have unwittingly influenced our choices, we will have the opportunity to make new choices that may better support living the life to which we aspire. Talk therapy works when we create together a secure space in which you are able to articulate the narrative of your life experience and know that it is understood. When we feel understood, we are better able to hear ourselves and are more open to reflecting on perspectives that we have not considered before. This can open up new opportunities for living. I decided to pursue psychoanalytic training after a fulfilling career in finance. My prior experience and psychoanalytic orientation, allow me to (i) understand the challenges and situational dynamics confronting my clients, and (ii) help them work through the unconscious images that may be limiting their ability to recognize/implement effective strategies.
