In the first session, we will discuss your current problems and complaints and devise a plan of treatment. We would decide to work in one of the following ways:

• Short-term, problem-oriented or symptom-oriented psychotherapy, usually requiring 10 to 12 weekly sessions.


• Long-term therapy, requiring a commitment of 6 to 12 months or longer, in order to address a wider range of more long-standing problems, with increasing insight and understanding of oneself.

We may find that your degree of distress is high enough that medication would be helpful, in which case we will work together to find the right medication or combination of medications in order to optimize your mood and level of functioning.

I have a holistic approach, and we can explore the benefits of exercise, meditation, diet, and nutritional supplements.
