What
is
Elemental Therapy?
Elemental Therapy provides
analysis, online counseling, short-term
psychotherapy and counseling for individuals and couples, and
consulations
for businesses and companies. Anyone experiencing emotional
difficulty can
benefit from analysis. People who wish to make changes in their
personal
or professional lives,
and are finding it difficult to do so, can benefit, as can those
suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship or family problems, or
sexual problems.
My aim in my practice is to help and guide you as you start
to
look inside yourself, into your patterns of thought and behavior, your
relationships with the different people in your life -- both past and
present -- in order to discover things that might be contributing to
your current problems.
For this kind of therapy to be effective, our work
ogether
must be flexible. Each session with each client will be different and
unique. I can provide no pattern or template for your therapy
--
what happens in our sessions is up to you. However, I try to avoid
diagnosis in favor of considering the strengths and potential of your
character and life experiences.
I have a particular interest in working on issues of
creativity
and the relationship problems experienced by writers, artists,
filmmakers and
musicians. I am especially interested in clients who are looking for a
Jungian approach to treatment.
About Me....
My
primary interest is
literature and psychoanalysis. I have a PhD in English Language and
Literature from Oxford University and am currently completeing a Psy.D
(Doctor of Psychoanalysis) at the Hattie D. Rosenthal College of Heed
University. In my research, I applied the
theories of the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan to contemporary
popular culture. This research was recently published as a book by
Palgrave Macmillan. I then trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at
the Washington Square Institute for Psychotherapy and Mental Health in
New York City. I am currently a Professor in the Department of
Language, Literature and Culture at the Maryland Institute College of
Art in Baltimore, and I am also a Fellow of the Baltimore Washington
Center for Psychoanalysis.
