I provide individual psychotherapy, including problem-focused, short-term therapy, long-term supportive therapy and 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.

I provide psychoanalysis to patients with complex personality difficulties that contribute to inhibitions at work and relationships, and have not improved with less intensive therapies. Treatment frequency is four to five times per week for a number of years.
