About me
I’ve spent decades in practice, weaving psychoanalytic depth, expanded states, and lived experience. My writing grows out of those moments when something opens — when what was closed begins to soften, and a fuller way of being comes into view.
ways of knowing
Psychoanalysis
My foundation is in the early analytic traditions that first explored the unconscious, carried forward through relational and attachment-based perspectives that show us how what we don’t know still lives through us. I listen for what is hidden, attend to defenses, and create space for what wants to be known.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
KAP loosens the grip of defenses. In these expanded states, what is buried often rises — grief, memory, possibility — opening a tender space for change. Within that openness, what has been held too tightly can finally breathe, making room for movement, meaning, and release.
Writing
Writing is where I listen in another way — not bound by the hour or the room. It begins from the same curiosity that shapes my analytic work but follows a different thread — one that looks outward, tracing the shared rhythms of longing, loss, and becoming.
My years in clinical practice informs and reveals the movement from defenses to aliveness, from protection to tenderness, from what was hidden to what can finally be known.
Through language, I explore what connects us — the human pulse beneath our patterns — and offer these reflections to whoever is ready to know.
