I am a psychodynamic or depth therapist. My focus is on the conscious and unconscious psyche and the underlying motives and tensions that impact your life. Many of us can acknowledge difficulties in relationships and/or struggles with our own internal world but don’t know how to make the necessary changes needed to improve or change them. My goal as a psychotherapist is to help increase self-awareness through uncovering your family history and the maladaptive patterns that underlie your suffering. Understanding your history and developing internal strengths to better manage your internal world will provide you with a greater sense of ease, confidence and freedom that translates into healthier relationships with the self and others.Wait time: 7-12 days.
