My Philosophical Life Coaching practice (or Cognitive Workshopping, C-WORK”) helps one understand the root of the current dilemmas he or she might face in their personal, professional, spiritual or family life, in order to come up with practical solutions to bettering this aspect (and all aspects) of ones life.
As a European trained psychoanalytic psychotherapist I take a unique approach to coaching, that is direct and hands-on as well as taking a hard look at the underlying structure of where one finds themselves in life.
I hold a masters in clinical psychotherapy, and have a background in the arts and philosophy. I have chosen to practice as a life coach because I believe it provides for a flexibility, both practical and psychologically, that is synonymous with the expectations of our times.
History
Established in 2014.
I studied psychoanalysis in France and Ireland under the direction of some of the best psychoanalysts in Europe. Upon returning to the United States I found the life coaching environment to be the most promising on a practical and emotional level. In Dublin I had a private practice, until I moved in early 2014 to San Francisco where I saw analysand clients. I have now, in 2015, relocated to Silicon Valley.

I was trained as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in Ireland and went through my own analyses in Ireland and France, in the tradition of the French psychoanalyst and philosopher Jacques Lacan. My background is in the fine arts, and I still practice as an artist and write about art. I have also had the good fortune to be able to travel around much of the world, and I can say with certainty that these travels and my life long love of the arts have provided me with the most important tools for thought.
I came to psychoanalysis after becoming discontent with the staleness I recognized in most American therapeutic practices and the often dehumanizing, pharmaceutical-fueled practice of modern psychiatry. I am not a psychologist or a psychiatrist, though I keep up with the literature of these fields. I have chosen to practice as a life coach because it offers a flexibility that I believe is necessary to practice in the dynamic psychoanalytic and philosophical tradition of Jacques Lacan.
