I provide individual psychotherapy, including

long-term exploratory therapy.
Frequency of treatment can range from
intermittant to three times per week.
Problem-focused, short-term therapy
is useful for mood and anxiety disorders, and focused relationship issues.
Long-term supportive therapy is useful for adjunct treatment of chronic
psychiatric disorders.
Long-term exploratory therapy is useful for complex
personality traits that contribute to inhibitions at work and relationships.
