Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an approach that goes beyond addressing surface-level symptoms. It is a deep, exploratory process that aims to understand the unconscious patterns, past experiences, and unresolved conflicts that shape your present-day life. The goal is not just to feel better, but to develop a profound and lasting understanding of who you are, which leads to greater freedom and more authentic choices.

While coaching is often forward-looking and skills-based, and therapies like CBT are focused on changing specific thoughts and behaviors, our work is different. We are not focused on short-term "fixes." Instead, we explore the root causes of your patterns. The "Narrative Dynamics" approach, in particular, integrates cultural analysis and philosophy to help you understand your story in a much broader context. The goal is insight and self-understanding, from which lasting change naturally follows.

This is deep, long-term work. There is no set timeline, as each person's journey is unique. The aim is not to reach a finish line, but to engage in a meaningful process of self-discovery that can unfold over several years. We are untangling patterns that have been in place for decades; this requires patience and commitment.

Consistency is crucial for building the momentum needed for deep work. For Individual Therapy, we will meet once or twice per week. For Group Therapy, the group meets once per week. These regular, scheduled times become a reliable anchor in your week.

A session is primarily a conversation, but it's a unique kind. It's a space for you to speak freely about whatever is on your mind — your thoughts, feelings, dreams, and frustrations— without fear of judgment. My role is not to give advice, but to listen deeply, to notice patterns, and to offer insights and interpretations that help you see yourself and your situation from a new perspective.

Your session time is reserved exclusively for you each week. This consistency is a core part of the therapeutic "frame" that makes deep work possible. The fee holds that space for you, regardless of whether you attend. This policy honors our mutual commitment to the process and the importance of the work we are doing together.

Absolutely. Confidentiality is the bedrock of any therapeutic relationship. Everything we discuss in our sessions is held in the strictest confidence, in accordance with professional ethical standards and privacy laws.

The investment for therapy is discussed in detail during our complimentary consultation. This allows us to ensure we are a good fit before proceeding. Payment policies are straightforward and are handled privately. The structure is designed to honor the deep commitment required from both client and therapist for this work to be effective.

I do not accept insurance directly. However, my services may be eligible for reimbursement through your "out-of-network" benefits, depending on your plan. If you wish to use these benefits, I can provide you with a monthly statement (a "superbill") that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

My practice is exclusively online, conducted via secure video sessions. This allows me to work with intellectually curious individuals from around the globe, and it offers you the convenience and privacy of engaging in this deep work from a space where you feel most comfortable.
