Expectations
-
I will ask you, "What do you want help with right now"?
-
I will respect whether you want a focused short term intervention, or a more in-depth exploration. At the end of this consultation we will have a plan.
-
Initial meetings are usually 100 minutes long, and subsequent sessions are 50 minutes long.
-
I return all phone calls within the day. On rare occasions, if I feel "concerned", I will call you.
-
Please note that while my psychoanalytic training has shaped my approach to clinical work, I understand that most people are not seeking psychoanalysis.
