My psychotherapy practice has four areas of focus:
- professionals with work-related issues and job burnout
- parents and perspective parents with reproductive issues or family balance concerns
- individuals with anxiety, stress, loneliness, avoidance or procrastination concerns seeking work/life balance, mindfulness, deeper connection with others, or increased self-knowledge and personal growth
- couples therapy
I work collaboratively with all my clients. I am an active participant during sessions and periodically solicit feedback about your experience of the therapy process. We will work together to decide, depending on your goals and the nature of your difficulties, whether a brief psychotherapy approach is best or whether a more open-ended one would be appropriate. Brief psychotherapy, which usually lasts less than six months, works best when you feel relatively stable in your life and want to focus on one specific area of difficulty. Open-ended psychotherapy allows for a broader focus and a deeper level of exploration in which ample time is allowed for multiple themes to develop.
At the beginning of therapy, we will negotiate a kind of psychotherapy contract in which we will agree to meet at a given frequency, usually once a week, at a set time, and for a given fee. Occasionally, circumstances are such that I may suggest meeting more than once a week. The consistency of appointments and mutual commitment to the psychotherapy process are important ingredients to a successful outcome.
