Therapy

I work with individuals and couples.

 

The psychotherapy I provide is rooted in the psychoanalytic tradition and focuses on paying close attention to patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. These patterns developed for good reason, to make unbearable pain more bearable, but now no longer serve their original purpose. They show up in how we relate to ourselves, how we relate to others, and in the choices we make. Some of the patterns may be quite conscious for us, painfully so, while some might be deeply unconscious, understandably so. Psychotherapy helps free us from these patterns.  

 

Increasing our sense of freedom sometimes means staying more present with what is happening moment to moment, and sometimes means revisiting the past to connect it to the present. It is a process that we cannot do by ourselves and happens within the context of a working relationship with a psychotherapist that engenders trust in this process. ​​

My fee for a 50 minute session is comparable with average rates for psychotherapy in the Bay Area provided by practitioners with similar training and experience. Fees may be reduced based on financial circumstances. I am in-network with Aetna and Blue Shield of California, and can also provide a super-bill to submit to your insurance company.
