Individual Therapy
Therapy can be long-term or short-term, depending on your needs. Typically, sessions are scheduled for at least once a week, but if we feel working more intensively is appropriate, we can meet more frequently. Individual sessions last 45 minutes, and I encourage you to think of them as your time and space, to use as you wish. There is no thought or feeling that is insignificant or inappropriate for exploring together, but I realize that any conversation must be at your pace. Individual therapy only works if we can build up trust together, so a good "fit" is important whenever deciding on a therapist.
Group Therapy
Group therapy can radically improve the way you communicate and help you to express your feelings, needs, and boundaries in an assertive manner. It can also help you change longstanding patterns of relating that may be ineffective. Some groups are more support-based, while others actively challenge you to shift perspectives and behaviors that are not helping you to effectively meet your needs. Either way, my role is to facilitate deeper understanding of these things in real time, in a space that is safe and respectful.

Psychodiagnostic Testing
Psychodiagnostic testing can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
Documentation of the need for academic accommodations at school for an IEP or 504 plan.
Diagnosing ADHD, learning disabilities, giftedness, and understanding learning styles so as to assist in educational approach.
Personality and projective testing to better understand underlying emotional issues that may be affecting daily functioning.

COUPLES TREATMENT
Long-lasting, fulfilling relationships take work. Couples treatment can be useful in times of difficulty as well as when things are going well. It can help improve communication, increase constructive strategies for dealing with conflict, and help you sort through ambivalence about major life decisions or changes. If you decide to work with me as a couple, my goal will be to strive to facilitate communication between you in a non-judgmental, unbiased manner.

For pre-doctoral and post-doctoral candidates, or any colleague looking for feedback on challenging clinical work, I offer supervision services for a low fee. If you are interested, contact me and we can discuss the details.
