Why psychotherapy?

Psychodynamic therapy is based on the power of expressing significant feelings to a person you trust. It is confidential; as long as you and the people in your life remain safe, nothing you reveal to me will be released without your consent.  Each unique course treatment strives toward the patient’s goals, but can also accommodate twists and turns along the way. Patients can discuss their day-to-day lives or disclose feelings they have held inside for years.  Couples can find ways to open up about problems in their relationships.

In treatment, people can begin to cope with grief, anxiety, or conflict.  Others gain resilience in the face of adversity or learn mindfulness skills. Disruptive life events like a breakup, a lost job, or the death of someone close can leave one feeling raw; these days, even national politics can cause overwhelming feelings of anxiety. Therapy — virtually or in person — can offer the perfect opportunity to talk it out.  Some people attend only for a few sessions, to work through a specific problem, while others may choose to make therapy a part of their lives for a long time.
