About psychotherapy

Psychotherapy can benefit anyone looking to address challenges in their daily lives. These challenges may include relationship problems, excessive fear or worry, lack of motivation, mood instability, a poor self-image, helplessness, difficulty making decisions, and a general dissatisfaction with life.

In my practice, therapy can address immediate concerns while offering space for deeper exploration of the experiences and relationship patterns that shape your life, drawing on my training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

There is no standard length of treatment

Each individual’s psychotherapy needs are different. The length of treatment can be influenced by the type and severity of the challenges a client faces, and there is no formula for determining the exact number of sessions required. Still, client and psychotherapist work together to develop a treatment plan suited to the client’s needs — one that may change as the work goes on.

Every course of therapy is different

Psychotherapy is not easily described. Experiences vary depending on the personalities of the therapist and the client, as well as the particular problems you are experiencing. Psychotherapy requires an active effort on your part, and that effort extends beyond the therapeutic hour.

Benefits and risks, honestly

Therapy involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, and you will likely experience uncomfortable feelings such as sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, and loneliness. Treatment has also been demonstrated to have many benefits. Because therapy asks for a substantial commitment of time, money, and energy, you should select your therapist carefully.
