Services
I see clients on a short-term or a longer-term basis, which is a decision we make together. Couples' therapy extends to working with siblings, parent/adult children, co-custody parents, and friends. I also consult with and supervise other psychotherapists and psychotherapists-in-training.
Areas of emphasis include:
- Aging Parents
- Anxiety/Worries
- Career
- Co-Custody
- Communication Skills
- Couples (includes siblings, parent/adult children, friends)
- Depression (sometimes experienced as having the "blahs" or numbness)
- Dilemmas ("I don't know what to do about __")
- Divorce
- End-of-Life
- Finding meaning in life
- Gender Identity Explorations
- LGBTQIA+ Considerations
- Life Transitions
- Men's Issues
- Mid-Life Issues
- Self Esteem/Personal Exploration
- Supervision/Consultation
- Trans Considerations
- Trauma
- Wealth and Money
- Women's Issues
A typical first meeting:
The first session, which lasts 50 minutes, is something of an interview for both therapist and client. As a client, you will see what it is like to sit in the room with me or for us to meet on-screen. I will want to know what brings you to therapy at this particular point in time. I will listen, and ask you questions. An interview session is designed for me to have a sense of your communication style, and for you to have a sense of mine. I will make a point of bracketing 10 or 15 minutes before the end in order to give you feedback on how I think I may work with you if you decide to enter treatment, and for you to ask questions of me.
