I'm a psychoanalytically-trained psychotherapist who specializes in limerence.
I offer consulting to help you better understand both the conscious and unconscious mechanisms that make you vulnerable to limerence. Whether you're just discovering that your obsession with a particular person has a name, or you're already familiar with limerence but struggling to find a therapist who understands it, I can help.
Through consulting sessions, I provide the language, insights, and strategies you need to cope with limerence and its impact on your psyche. Left unexamined, the compulsion to repeat limerence will be irresistible.
I offer a personalized understanding of your specific limerence patterns, helping you learn to recognize the early signs and derail limerence before it derails you. This isn't therapy, but rather focused guidance to help you make sense of and manage the ruminations, the fantasies, and the heartache.
Your race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression/fluidity, and spirituality are all valued and respected here.
