multiplicity, change
& High stakes life transitions
We are multifaceted beings with a limited time to create and live out our stories. Reconciling how to make choices about a path in life can be especially challenging for those of us who are in touch with multiple desires and talents. Developmentally and societally ingrained principles can further complicate decision making and sense of self-worth and lead to symptoms like stalling, anxiety, or depression. Through exploration with psychoanalytic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis, I help patients sort through these issues to connect better with what enlivens them. My approach, precipitated from Laplanchian and Lacanian theory, incorporates an understanding that we are all evolving through the prisms of our history, experience, and current conditions, and a belief that psychoanalytic psychotherapy can create openness and help maintain stability and vigor amidst each new iteration of self.
