I'm a psychoanalytically-trained psychotherapist who specializes in limerence and offers both consulting and education to help you understand this intense experience.Limerence Consulting
Whether you're just discovering that what you're experiencing has a name, or you're already familiar with the term 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.
I also offer a personalized understanding of your specific limerence patterns, helping you learn to derail limerence before it derails you. This isn't therapy, but rather focused guidance to help you make sense of what you're going through and develop tools to manage it.

Podcast: Listen to my conversation with Imi Lo on The Intense Mind, where we explore the unconscious mechanisms that drive limerence—from early attachment patterns to the role of fantasy and emotional regulation. We discuss why some people are more prone to limerence and, most importantly, what can be done about it.
