About My Services

I provide individual psychotherapy every week or every two weeks. When appropriate, I prescribe medication while an individual is in therapy. When therapy ends, another prescriber (often a primary care provider) must take over medication management. 

I had the benefit of my own psychoanalysis during my psychiatry residency. This experience taught me to listen to what comes out in sessions and what is consciously unavailable. Interpretation of both historic and current life events shifted from outside the office to what happened in the therapy between us. This is the means by which psychotherapy changes distorted ways of thinking about yourself and the world around you. 

Treatment always starts with a careful 75-minute initial consultation. You will leave this session with a better idea of what some of the core issues are and avenues to address them. I do not always conclude that medication will be helpful. This initial consultation will help us decide a way forward.

Psychotherapy sessions are 45-50 minutes and the minimum frequency is every two weeks.
