How I work

More than one mind in the story

My work is relational, psychodynamic and grounded in mentalizing: the very human capacity to make sense of behavior, our own and other people’s, in terms of what’s going on inside. Feelings, wishes, fears, intentions.

We all lose it under stress. Minds narrow, we stop wondering and start knowing, and relationships get stuck. Therapy is a place to slow down, get curious again, and make room for more than one mind in the story.
