Lacanian life coaching is what I choose to call how I work with clients, adapting my European training in Lacanian psychoanalysis to an American audience and lexicon for the 21st century. Lacanian life coaching is a practice that recognizes that we no longer live in Freud's time, and as such the practice must be different. I do not find the duration of Freudian analysis, or the cost, to be in line with how we think and behave today, but I find the underlying principles of Freud to be more relevant than ever. In a time when our thoughts are everywhere and nowhere simultaneously, we need to accept that our identities are not static, but flexible, and not at all what we might believe them to be. Our thoughts and emotions are amalgamations of language that we can only come to terms with when we relinquish our insistence that they are completely ours.

Psychoanalytic.Solutions is a very different experience than going to most psychologists, therapists, or psychoanalysts. For example, I will not tell you how to live your life, nor will I ever make diagnoses, as these ways of thinking are antithetical to the psychoanalytic understanding that you already have your own solution. Often, the language of that solution only needs to be heard in order to be consciously realized and put into action. I will help you identify and define this language. To put it simply, I help you analyze yourself.
