About

After 27 years of teaching, I retired from the innovative West Georgia Psychology Department, opening a practice in Atlanta, Georgia. It specializes in intensive psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. My psychotherapy is informed by existential and humanistic training. I trained with the Jungian, Thomas Moore. I have engaged in learning Lacanian psychoanalysis since the 1990's. (Quebec City & New York City) Anyone who finds herself or himself baffled by patterns of unsatisfying behavior, unexplained physical or emotional suffering, or coming to terms with loss, may find my practice helpful. This approach sees a client as a singular person with a history and story, containing truths and possibilities . Approach: Psychoanalysis/ Psychodynamic with Humanistic, Jungian, and existential influences. Speaking, with its many resonances, is not information. What is heard in what is said may open to truths about one's self. I really listen because words are singular to each person. No one else can say them. In an age of quick fixes and broad based diagnoses of human suffering, my practice respects the person who is addressing me. My practice emphasizes hearing oneself differently, reflecting on your patterns in relationships, fantasies, speaking of your history, your culture, to create an encounter with your own desire.
