I offer professional consultation services in various formats - as a one-off meeting, ongoing meetings or in a concentrated in depth format.

My approach to consultation is consultee-driven, open-ended, collaborative and creative. Some consultants may be experts in particular ways of working with mental health professionals (e.g., relational, trauma-informed, group dynamics) or on particular topics like a coach (e.g., professional dilemmas, parenting). My expertise in teaching and learning, previous training as a coach, prior experience in research and technology, founding of the largest sex therapy training program for therapists in California and training as a psychoanalyst positions me to address a wide range of concerns. Regardless of the concern, I tend to focus on supporting the development of the consultee with a rigorous and flexible approach to the material that centers the development of the consultee.

I offer single or ongoing consultation sessions to licensed mental health professionals about clinical matters, business development matters, or to leaders about their work informed by a psychodynamic perspective. I also offer concentrated bursts of consultation services (e.g., a weekend or in-depth short segment of work such as several hours a day for a week or two) for busy professionals who may not have the time to meet in other kinds of scheduling arrangements typical of psychotherapy or psychoanalysis.

I invite consultees to consider how I might be most helpful and to work together to find new ways of thinking, to experiment with new behaviors, and to reflect together on the impact of consultation.
