Services
Psychiatry
I offer psychiatric diagnostic evaluation with comprehensive recommendations for treatment. When appropriate, I offer ongoing outpatient psychiatric care, often in conjunction with psychotherapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. I also offer psychiatric consultation for patients and their providers already engaged in existing mental/behavioral health treatment where there are questions about how to proceed. I can provide specialist guidance to primary care doctors or physicians within other medical specialties who are prescribing psychiatric medication, especially as a cost-effective strategy to increase access to specialized care.
Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is an intensive form of psychotherapy treatment that involves meeting three or more times per week. While psychoanalysis as a treatment modality can be demanding and resource-intensive, it can be very effective at producing far-reaching benefits that are deep as well as durable. Psychoanalysis might be indicated in situations where it seems clear that extensive changes are necessary in order to achieve the goals of treatment, or where multiple other attempts at treatment including psychotherapy have yielded little benefit.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is often referred to as ‘talk therapy,’ although in reality the work of psychotherapy takes place on multiple intersecting registers including an engaged awareness of bodily and nervous system responses. People seek psychotherapy for a variety of reasons. The goals of a therapy are often many, and are specific to the person seeking treatment. An evaluation for psychotherapy involves an initial consultation followed by recommendations which might include a plan to meet once or twice weekly for a period of time, usually until the goals of the treatment have been accomplished.
Professional Consultation
I provide consultation to those in the helping professions including (but not limited to) other therapists and mental health providers. I may be a good fit for clinicians who are interested in deepening their work and in developing their capacities to engage more of what is already present within the clinical encounter. It has been my experience that deepening my own capacities to more directly engage the most painful and bewildering aspects of clinical work not only helps me to offer more to my patients day-to-day, but helps me to feel more settled and satisfied in my work in an enduring way.
