Practice description
At times, we can become stuck in old habits, patterns, and fears that do not serve us anymore and get in the way of authentic and meaningful connections with ourselves and others, keeping us from feeling inner peace and happiness.
My job is to understand your life experiences and how they have led to your feeling unhappy, lost, confused or stuck. Together we name the repeating and frustrating patterns, identify the conflicts behind the patterns, and address them.
Psychodynamic therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the conscious and unconscious parts of the mind and helps people gain insight into their lives and present-day problems. It helps understand why people may attract partners with similar characteristics, reenact the same kind of patterns, and play out the same fights over and over again.
The therapeutic relationship is central to psychodynamic therapy. It can demonstrate how a person interacts with their friends and loved ones. This look at interpersonal relationships can help people understand their part in relationships. It may empower them to transform that dynamic and bring meaningful and lasting change into their lives.
