“With the aid of self-reflection, we help clients to become aware of narrative arcs of their life story and then help them understand that alternative story lines are possible.

As the writing and editing processes proceed, new narrative arcs emerge along with the possibility of experimenting with more adaptive ways of thinking, feeling, and acting.”

~Louis Cozolino

Services

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy offers a private, confidential space in which to pause, reflect, and speak freely about what is most troubling, painful, or uncertain. Together, we look closely at the emotional patterns, relationships, and inner conflicts that may be shaping your experience, often outside of awareness. Over time, this process can lead to greater clarity, deeper self-understanding, more satisfying relationships, and a fuller sense of freedom in how you live.

I practice psychodynamic relational psychotherapy, a thoughtful, in-depth, evidence-based approach that helps address both immediate concerns and the deeper emotional forces that underlie them. The aim is not simply to feel better, but to know yourself more fully and to create meaningful, enduring change.

Psychotherapy services are typically scheduled once a week. Note: I run a very low-tech practice. I do not use special software for billing or state-required note-taking. All client information is held locally and not uploaded anywhere.

Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis is a specialty in psychology that is distinguished from other specialties by its body of knowledge and its intensive treatment approaches. It aims at making the unconscious conscious to help you make deep structural changes in your life. This is an intensive exploration of your motivations, desires, needs, and defenses to promote awareness of unconscious, maladaptive, and habitually recurrent patterns of emotion and behavior, allowing previously unconscious aspects of the self to become integrated and promoting optimal functioning, healing, and creative expression.

Psychoanalysis sessions are typically scheduled two or three times per week. Note: I run a very low-tech practice. I do not use special software for billing or state-required note-taking. All client information is held locally and not uploaded anywhere.

Personal Coaching

In personal coaching, I work with clients in almost any area including personal relationships and personal growth, project work, career issues, financial difficulties, and health concerns. You and I will work together to help you define goals and articulate obstacles to achieving them. Then we will identify the steps for achieving your objectives, the resources you need, and a timeline for achieving them.

The personal coaching schedule will be mutually agreed upon as the work proceeds. Note: I run a very low-tech practice. I do not use special software for billing or note-taking. All client information is held locally and not uploaded anywhere.

My fee is $250 per session. Sliding fees are available at times.
