Psychodynamic 

Psychodynamic/Psychoanalytic treatment is an insight-oriented approach that encourages exploration of the range of your emotions, both felt and avoided, while identifying recurring themes and patterns. There is a focus on unconscious process and the way it manifests in the present. It is a treatment that seeks to free oneself from the confines of the past in order to live more fully in the present.

Anxiety

Anxiety is nearly ubiquitous in navigating the complexities of everyday life. A small degree of anxiety can be motivating while too much anxiety is incapacitating. Anxiety also takes up a great deal of energy. The goal of treatment over time is to become more flexible inside and to find new ways of relating to the emotional meanings that constitute the basis of the anxiety.

Relationship / Marriage Issues

Whether it be issues with friends, siblings, parents, children, or within any form of couple, navigating one's needs and boundaries within a relationship requires work. This often involves learning more deeply about the internal impressions left from your earliest relationships, the strengths and challenges surrounding those, and moving more fully into the present with the way you relate to yourself and others.

Adjustment Disorder

Whether it be from changes we choose ourselves or those that are dictated by life, adjusting to new circumstances can be emotionally taxing. The work of therapy is to help you regain your bearings and find new energy and fresh attention to the way your life is evolving.
