Couples Therapy
Couples therapy can be useful if there have been recent changes in your relationship, and can be beneficial even if there are no current problems. Unlike individual therapy, couples therapy may be time limited and focused on one or two specific areas of concern.
Career Issues
I have extensive experience with career management and transition. Therapy can help you to find the work you love, or to make your present career more rewarding.
Artists & Creatives
Artists, Musicians and Creative Individuals often have unique difficulties in their careers. Perhaps early success was achieved, but subsequent successes have not been so frequent. I can assist you in your articulating your creative pursuits. We can clarify your goals, end self-sabotaging behaviors and help you be comfortable with artistic work that you love.
Men and Boys
Men often do not see the benefit of talking about their feelings. They are accustomed to solving their own problems logically and pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. I have many years of experience in working with men, overcoming these obstacles, and helping them see the benefits of starting and remaining in therapy. Together we can understand the root causes and patterns that have been interfering in their personal lives.
Psychoanalysis
I practice a contemporary approach known as interpersonal/relational psychoanalysis. This places more emphasis on interaction and collaboration than classic Freudian psychoanalysis, while still holding to the key principles that Freud discovered.
Services for Mental Health Professionals
I offer writing groups for mental health professionals preparing to write their first psychoanalytic articles and also individual and group supervision in the interpersonal/relational tradition.
