Making the decision to begin psychotherapy or psychoanalysis is a step towards real change. As you know not all therapists and therapies are alike. It is important to find a good match for yourself.  I make an effort to help you figure out what type of therapy is good for you taking into consideration what is important to you and what your stumbling blocks are.  There is no rule book for how you should achieve your goals. What is good for one person is not necessarily good for the next.  Nor is it clear how much therapy each person will need or want. I try to be as flexible as possible in making assesmants with you of your therapeutic goals and progress.

The sessions are 50 minutes long. Generally I like to see someone once a week although sometimes my patients and I agree that meeting more often may be desirable.  I do not have any requirements about frequency of sessions, it is a joint decision.  I work with your history, your daily experiences, dreams, your creative process, as well as your feelings and reactions to our sessions to help us get at what is standing in the way of your ideals and goals.
