individual psychotherapy

Sessions occur on a weekly basis. As increased frequency provides greater access to the thoughts and feelings that keep you in emotional pain, I will often work with people 2-3x per week.

An initial assessment of 2-4 sessions allows me to hear what is troubling you, see how I might help, and gives you a chance to see what it is like to work with me. At the end of the assessment I will share my impressions, hear feedback from you, and we will discuss moving forward from there.

Once the decision is made to continue, we will schedule sessions for the same day and time each week. Typically, I will first hear from you; what is on your mind, what you are thinking and feeling, and then we’ll proceed to process and work through what is troubling you.

couples psychotherapy

Whereas individual psychotherapy focuses on the internal world of one person, couples therapy focuses on the dyad. Specifically, how each person’s unique personality, personal history, patterns of relating, and communication style influences the couple’s relationship.

Tele-health: VIdeo & Phone

I provide psychotherapy through a HIPAA compliant audio-visual telemedicine platform. Tele-health sessions mirror in-person meetings, are time efficient, and are strongly supported by research demonstrating positive therapeutic outcomes.

group psychotherapy

Groups are co-ed, consist of 6-8 members, and are a way to learn about yourself, how you experience others (“that person make me feel…”) and how others experience you (how you make them feel).

Through a weekly 75 minute session, members gain insight and understanding into their patterns of relating with others that may be maladaptive. Members learn about their verbal and non-verbal communications, feelings they evoke in others, feelings others invoke in them, how to express feelings, give and receive feedback, and sustain relationships while working through conflict.

clinical supervision

I have extensive experience supervising doctoral and masters degree students, newly licensed as well as experienced clinicians. With a broad background in education, the arts, and psychoanalytic theory and technique, I am attuned to the clinical challenges of working with human suffering.
