INDIVIDUAL ANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY
This is for those
individuals who want to get to the root of
their problems and are willing to make a commitment
to put in the time and effort necessary to
do so. See “Basic
Concepts.”
MARRIAGE AND COUPLES THERAPY
There are four important
aspects of marriage and couples therapy that
I focus on:
To help you understand the unique emotional
dynamics of your relationship, especially
in the context of each other’s unique
family and life history, so that you will
be able to better understand each other
and the root of your problems.
To help each of you separately understand
and manage your own feelings, in order
to promote greater self-awareness and
understanding of your role in the relationship.
To maximize your ability to communicate
openly and honestly with each other and
to create a safe emotional space for each
other.
To give you practical tools and help
you make rules that will help you maximize
your ability to take care of each other’s
emotional needs and make each other happy.
COUNSELING
Counseling is a shorter-term
approach and generally for people who do not
have significant developmental trauma in their
history or what we might call, “heavy
emotional baggage.” In counseling, the
focus is much more cognitively and behaviorally
oriented, which means there is a much greater
emphasis on changing the way one thinks and
taking action. The focus is also more on the
present than on the past. What is common to
both counseling and analytic therapy is the
importance of identifying one’s organizing
principles.
TELEPHONE COUNSELING
Making counseling available to anyone,
anywhere in the world.
Specializing in dating, marriage, and
relationship consultations.
RELATIONSHIP ASSESSEMENTS
AND COUNSELING
Strengthen your love
with the power of clarity. This service is
for couples who are seriously considering
the possibility of marriage. The goal of the
assessment is to help you gain a clear picture
of the strengths and weakness of your relationship
and especially to pinpoint any danger areas
that may cause serious problems in the future.
A couple may also come with specific issues
to work on which they’ve already identified.
DATING ADVICE AND COACHING
FOR INDIVIDUALS
This is for those
who are either in a relationship or looking
for a relationship and feel they need some
advice and guidance.
For those not in a relationship who
want to be more effective in their dating
strategy.
For those in a relationship who have
issues or questions that are bothering
them pertaining to their current relationship.
