Anxiety is a feeling that often stems from discernible triggers while at other times seems to come out of nowhere. The subjective experience of anxiety can range from mild dis-ease to outright panic. Therapy provides the containment and regulation needed to reduce the severity of anxiety and prevent its intrusion into our day to day lives.

Depression may revolve around a loss and feel like profound sadness or take the form of low self worth and despair. Depression interferes with the ability to perform those very actions that serve to alter one's perspective resulting in a self-perpetuating cycle. Therapy helps by identifying the mental activity that predisposes us to depression freeing us from the reflexive cycles of shame that keep us stuck.

Intimate relationships provide the ideal conditions for early attachment patterns to replay themselves. How we see ourselves, how we think others see us, and how we've been let down all come to the fore in the context of our close relationships. Therapy helps us communicate our hurts and longings and discover how each of us can support the other's growth and development.

The therapist-client relationship provides a here and now experience of what occurs in other relationships. By focusing on what is being evoked in the therapeutic relationship, we are given the opportunity to observe how we make sense of other people's actions and how we repeat relational patterns. As we examine this process in therapy, we come to better understand our reactions, expand our range of options, and set into motion healthier ways of relating with others.

The goal of couples therapy is to help each partner see and understand the other. Conflict often arises from misunderstanding. Through empathy, behaviors begin to make sense, impasses are resolved, and space becomes available to interact differently with each other. Rather than viewing one's partner as an obstacle, each rediscovers the partnership and support that formed the basis of the relationship and the desire to foster each other's personal growth.

Psychodynamic therapy is a form of therapy that recognizes that much of what we do occurs for reasons that are outside of our awareness. Through the intimacy and openness of a therapeutic relationship, we get to know ourselves better. As this occurs we become more able to embrace the entirety of who we are and less encumbered by shame and avoidance. The more connected we are with ourselves, the more we are able to engage with the people and experiences in our lives.
