Services
Therapy alongside a practice
For adults who already sit, walk or pray quietly, and want a therapist who will keep to therapy.
Your practice stays yours
I will not change it, grade it or take it over.
Any tradition, or none
I do not need you to explain it. Say as much or as little as you like.
How it works, in six points
Who it helps
Adults who keep a regular practice, of any kind, and want a place to think about the rest of their life.
What sessions look like
The same as any session: we talk. If your practice comes up, we talk about it as part of your life, the way we would talk about your work.
The method
Psychodynamic therapy, the same method I use with everyone. It does not borrow from your practice, and it does not ask you to change it.
What this is not
It is not a meditation class, a retreat or spiritual direction. If you want instruction or a teacher, I will point you to one. I do not offer mindfulness as a treatment.
Length and frequency
Your clinician sets the pace with you. I do not promise a number of sessions, and we can meet less often if your practice is full.
You pay for each session yourself, and your fee is given in writing before we start. Insurance, receipts and the written estimate are on the page about how fees work.
Three questions about this service
Do you teach meditation, or offer mindfulness as treatment?
No. I am a therapist, not a meditation teacher, and I do not offer mindfulness as a treatment. If your practice is part of your life, we can talk about it. If you want instruction, I can point you to a teacher or a class.
What happens in the first session?
It lasts 50 minutes. I explain how I work, the limits of confidentiality and the possible risks and benefits of therapy, and I listen. At the end we each decide whether to continue.
What is confidential, and what are the limits?
What you share stays in the session. The law sets limits: if someone is at serious risk of harming themselves or another person, or if abuse of a child or an older adult is suspected, I may have to tell others. I explain this in writing before we start.
