I want to emphasize that, while I have specific areas of expertise, my practice is open to individuals who wish to examine challenges that may not be explicitly outlined in my specialties. I extend a warm welcome to you.
Individual Psychotherapy Sessions
With the support of a trained clinician, you can explore your inner world. This process involves looking closely at your life story to understand what influences your current situation. In your sessions, you may discuss important life experiences—both big and small—that have shaped how you think and feel. This process helps you to make sense of your experiences. As you connect your past and present, you will gain valuable insights that can guide your path forward.
Couples Psychotherapy Sessions
Building a romantic partnership and maintaining a healthy relationship involves emotional challenges. Couples therapy provides a space for partners to discuss their thoughts, feelings, and past experiences that affect their relationship.
In therapy sessions, partners share their persepctives, which canl help couples understand their communication styles and relationship dynamics—how they show affection, handle conflicts, and respond to each other’s needs.
Additionally, couples learn the process of active listening and expressing feelings constructively. They can set shared goals, discuss expectations, and assess their emotional and physical closeness. As they appreciate each other’s perspectives and strengthen their bond, they create a balanced relationship better equipped to handle future challenges.
Family Psychotherapy Sessions
When one family member goes through tough times, it can really affect everyone else in the family. That’s why family sessions are set up to help everyone talk about what they’re dealing with.
The main goal is to make the family stronger by improving how they communicate and really getting to know each other better. By coming together and building resilience, families can face challenges with insight and connection.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy for writers
Writers often encounter distinct challenges because their creative work is closely tied to their sense of self, which can be deeply personal and vulnerable. Psychodynamic psychotherapy can enhance a writer's inner experience by promoting emotional balance and resilience. This process fosters emotional vitality in both their personal life and their overall well-being.
