Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements…

The process and experience of psychotherapy varies, depending on the interaction of the personalities of the therapist and the client, and on the particular problems you bring forward. Effective psychotherapy calls for an active involvement on the part of therapist and client alike and, in this collaboration, positive changes in both participants can be expected to occur.

Psychotherapy can have benefits and risks. Since therapy often involves discussion unpleasant aspects of your life you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. On the other hand, psychotherapy has also been shown to have benefits for people who participate in it. It often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress. But there are no guarantees of what you will experience.

While traditional psychoanalytic psychotherapy often involves long-term treatment, there has been a growing demand for briefer, focused interventions. Jungian-oriented psychoanalytic psychotherapy, in briefer durations, incorporates the principles of Analytical Psychology while addressing the need for cost-effective, time-limited care.

I sincerely hope that our alliance, and the work we do together, can lead to positive changes in your perception of yourself and others and to the reduction or elimination of persistent, and sometimes debilitating, psychological symptoms and lead to increased motivation and ability in addressing the challenges you face in your life.

I fully expect that our work will establish and promote a full, conscious, realization of your individual capacities and potentials, and that it will provide you with insight that is essential to your continued development as an individual and as an effective participant in society at lar.

The exploration and analysis of dreams, active imaginations, and fantasy is essential to insight-oriented psychotherapy. Dream and fantasy material can provide conscious access to vital unconscious processes and can greatly enhance psychological development. I regard dream analysis as a vital component of psychotherapy and I encourage the inclusion and exploration of dream and creative material in our work.
