My work is oriented toward the unconscious dynamics that shape emotional life-the patterns in relationships, in the body, in the stories people tell about themselves, that keep recurring even when they cause pain. I draw on psychoanalytic thinking alongside hypnotherapy, working toward a slower kind of understanding: what a symptom or a repetition might be holding, and what becomes possible once it's actually met.
I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, chronic pain, stress, trauma, relationship or intimacy difficulties, compulsive or repetitive patterns, and disconnection from the body-as well as those exploring questions of desire, identity, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.
Sessions are offered virtually and in person in New York City. The Gamache Center LLC provides professional consultation and hypnotherapy services by appointment.
