Psychotherapy*
My psychotherapy treatment approach emphasizes an empathic, collaborative process of understanding as a foundation for emotional healing and improved, long-lasting wellbeing. Inherent in this way of working is regard for what is unique about you and your needs so we can be the best team possible. Research has shown that rewards from this style of therapy (psychoanalytic psychotherapy) continue to increase well after treatment has ended. My goal is to help you feel your fullest self, empowered, self-aware, and connected to the people, places, and things that bring meaning to your life.
Psychoanalysis*
Sometimes it may be useful to increase your number of weekly sessions. While such close connection may serve to offer extra support when times are tough, it's also an opportunity for deep exploration of patterns of thinking and feeling that just isn't as accessible with less frequent appointments. True, it's a commitment. Usually it's a good idea to begin with one weekly session and explore the benefits of more as the process unfolds.
By the way, psychoanalysis has come a long way since Freud. Contemporary psychoanalysis is a culturally sensitive approach to healing emotional pain and promoting self-discovery that incorporates research from neurobiology, child development, memory studies, and more. It's a system that recognizes we humans are ineffably complex beings while offering a means to do some sorting out.

*Online Therapy
During this time of great global distress, the ability to connect via video has become such an important resource. I am currently working exclusively online. While different from live sessions, I've found the process to be effective and rewarding, even for those who aren't technologically savvy.
A benefit of online psychotherapy is the increased availability of off-hours. Whether you're working long days (or nights), or have too much time on your hands, we can probably find an hour that works.
To get the most out of our appointment, make sure you are in a comfortable, quiet location where you will not be disturbed. Have tissues handy. Put away extraneous electronic devices. If possible, take a short, 15 minute walk or do a little journaling before or after we meet to set the tone and help solidify the experience.
Please call or email with any further questions or to schedule an appointment.
I use a HIPAA-compliant, secure video platform that is accessed by a unique link, emailed to you upon scheduling.

Supervision*
Licensed and licensed-eligible clinicians seeking supervision from a self-psychologically informed approach are encouraged to call to discuss supervisory needs.
