I am a native Texan and have lived in Austin on and off for the last 20 years. I was initially drawn into the field of psychotherapy 7 or 8 years ago when I transitioned out of a career as a professional chef. Eventually I was drawn towards Psychoanalysis as a clinical practice when I sought out my own analysis. My clinic is dedicated entirely to practicing this form of treatment which is a bit different than the prevailing forms of psychotherapy.
To choose to see a psychoanalyst is to make a choice that is perhaps a little different than one's you've made in the past. This is because it is a form of treatment which concerns something central but often overlooked: unconscious desire. In a time when everything about a person not only can but supposedly must be optimized, psychoanalysis offers a place for what doesn't work to have its rightful voice, to allow a new sort of ease and know how with what never seems to change.
This form of treatment is geared towards giving you the space to say something unexpected. Every person is different and because of this every person’s treatment looks different. You can expect that I will not approach our relationship as though I know what’s best for you. I listen and engage you in ways which punctuate the uniqueness of your personality and what has caused you to seek out help.
