Individual Psychotherapy

I work with older teens and adults of all ages. Sessions are 45 minutes with the frequency of contact varying according to the need and situation:

• Once weekly
• Multiple times weekly
• Special frequencies based on circumstances

Whether the therapy is short-term or long-term, I only work with regularly scheduled appointments so that the time is available to support the process and flow of our talking together.

It is talking together that is curative and maturational. My approach is psychodynamic within an interpersonal, relational style. I am a nuts-and-bolts, pragmatic psychotherapist, so you can expect me to listen carefully, ask questions to help you talk about whatever is on your mind, and work with you to arrive at your own interpretations and understandings of things. I do give feedback particularly when asked, and I welcome any feedback from you as to how you are affected by our work together. Even expressions of dissatisfaction can provide us with a clue to understanding your needs and concerns better.
