Psychoanalysis

The deepest form of the work — and the one I have practiced, taught, and written about for over fifty years.

Psychoanalysis is for difficulties that have not yielded to other approaches: patterns that repeat, moods that return, relationships that keep arriving at the same place. Through frequent sessions — typically several times per week — we allow those patterns to emerge fully, be understood, and change from the root.

The method uses free association, dreams, and the relationship that develops between patient and analyst to reach what symptom-focused treatment cannot: the reasons difficulties keep returning. Relief that comes this way tends to last.

I am a board-certified psychoanalyst (Fellow, American Board of Psychoanalysis) and a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Florida Psychoanalytic Center — the analyst who trains other analysts. Analysis with me is conducted by secure video, with the same depth as the consulting room.

“Understanding why you feel what you feel is the beginning of lasting change.”

Is analysis right for you?

  • Long-standing patterns that repeat despite insight
  • Difficulties that returned after previous therapy
  • A wish to understand yourself, not only feel better
  • Willingness to meet several times per week
  • A free 15-minute consultation settles the question
