Something isn’t working — and you may not be able to say exactly what. You’ve managed, accomplished, perhaps sought help before. Yet a familiar dissatisfaction returns. Relationships repeat their patterns. A symptom persists despite your best efforts to be rid of it. Psychoanalysis begins precisely here: not with a treatment plan, but with a question about what your suffering might be trying to say. This is not short-term or symptom-targeted work. There is no curriculum, no homework, no fixed endpoint. Just your voice, without a filter.

The only instruction in psychoanalysis is to say whatever comes to mind, without judgment or censorship. Over time the shape of your desire will become legible to you: what you’ve avoided, what you’ve repeated, what you’ve never quite let yourself want. Then the decision about this desire can finally be yours.

I have over a decade of clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, including extensive work in addictions. I’m licensed in Tennessee, Colorado, and Massachusetts and take insurance in all three states. If my approach resonates with you, it may be worth a conversation.
