Potential Space Psychotherapy

Welcome to Our Practice

We’re here to help you reconnect with parts of yourself—or your family—that may feel distant, stuck, or out of reach. Our work is centered on healing, growth, and deeper understanding.

What is Potential Space?

Potential space is the area between external reality and the private landscape of our inner world—a vital psychic space where creativity, playfulness, and emotional growth can take root. In psychotherapy, potential space allows for exploration and discovery, a space created where people can safely engage with both inner experiences and their relationship to the world around them.

The concept was introduced by Donald Winnicott, a pioneering pediatrician and psychoanalyst of the early 20th century. He described this in-between zone as potential space, also known as transitional space or the area of illusion. Winnicott saw it as essential for healthy development, particularly through play and cultural experience. In therapy, accessing this space allows something new to emerge—greater openness, flexibility, and connection with others.

How We Work

With adults, therapy is informed by psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theories, with attention to development, relationships, and attachment patterns. This approach can help you make sense of long-standing behaviors or emotional dynamics, both within yourself and in your relationships.

When working with children and families, we begin by addressing the most immediate concerns. From there, we shift toward supporting lasting change and growth for both you and your child. As a parent or caregiver, you may find that therapy not only helps your child, but also supports your own development and confidence. I also offer parent-only consultations, and work with families from infancy through young adulthood.
