-Weekly Sessions

Individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy sessions are 50 minutes and are held at least 1-2 times per week depending on individual needs. The duration of therapy may be shorter or longer-term. Phone and video sessions can be arranged to allow for continuity of treatment when an in-person session is not possible.

-Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis provides a unique opportunity for one to work more intensely due to the increased frequency of sessions per week (3-5 times a week) and encounter unconscious patterns of how one relates to the self and others and more. It can be conducted sitting up or lying on the couch. Psychoanalysis is a commitment in terms of time and investment but offers a radical way to invest in knowing and healing the self deeply and more rapidly than once a week treatment. I am trained in a contemporary tradition of psychoanalysis that offers a warm relational approach. This means you will not experience me as a "blank slate" as in old-fashioned notions of psychoanalysis. I am interactive with you as in weekly dynamic therapy but we have more time and opportunity with higher frequency sessions to cover more ground in the work. 

Dyad psychotherapy (between 2 people) is offered to siblings, friends and intimate couples of all kinds. Weekly sessions last 50 minutes or more and address a wide range of issues, which may include communication, strengthening intimacy and trust, stressors, family and parenting issues, and sexuality issues, among others.

Consultation is offered for: therapists that want support for clinical applications of working psychodynamically and psychoanalytically; academics from other disciplines that want a deeper understanding of psychoanalytic theory; careworkers in related fields that need assistance with ways to mentalize and enhance their care of their patients and clients.

  • Therapy works best with regular, consistent sessions. You can miss (4) four sessions per year without having to pay for the missed sessions. You are responsible for payment any other time, unless we are able to reschedule your session within a reasonable time frame.
