Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Working with unconscious processes, relational patterns, and lasting change.
Most people who seek therapy are not in acute crisis. They are dealing with something more chronic: patterns of relating that repeat across different relationships, emotional experiences that feel difficult to access or impossible to manage, a gap between who they are and who they want to be.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy, sometimes called psychoanalytic psychotherapy, takes these patterns seriously. Rather than targeting symptoms in isolation, it is concerned with the underlying structure of a person's inner life: the conflicts, defenses, and relational templates, many of them formed early and operating largely outside of awareness, that give rise to present difficulties.
My practice is focused on complex trauma and its relational consequences. I work with adults who are contending with the long-term effects of early relational harm, and with the ways those experiences continue to organize how they move through relationships and through themselves.
