If you want the short version of the site, this is it.

Most people look at one issue, then read about therapy or one essay if they want more context.

The issue sections cover the main problems I work with. The approach section explains what therapy is like. The essays give you a sense of how I think.

Therapy

What therapy looks like here.

  • Start with a consult.
  • Spend time understanding the problem.
  • Work on it in session and during the week.
  • Adjust as needed.

If you want to keep going.

If one issue already sounds familiar, that is probably the best place to spend your time. If you want a clearer picture of therapy, the approach page is the next thing to read.
