Go Deeper. Understand Yourself.

Do you often feel intense internal conflict? Have you atomized and sequestered disturbing parts of yourself that you are afraid to share with the world?

Our healthcare system has produced a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) which has become a standardized universal in mental healthcare. Unfortunately, since the 1990s, the reliability and validity of the DSM has been disappointing. Worst of all, this misunderstanding in diagnosis fails to capture patient’s complex experiences.

The truth is that life always has been complex. Perhaps we should not be surprised to find that life is only becoming more and more complex as time goes on. Dating apps allow us to order a human being off of the internet as if they were a pizza. Military service members, police, and first responders are often treated with incredible contempt from the same people they serve. Children are given smart phones & unfettered access to the World Wide Web along with every temptation and struggle that it can create. in an age of loneliness, where it seems so many of us crave connection, why can we not seem to find the tools to work collaboratively with each other anymore?

Rather than looking toward that which is extrinsic and impossible to control, Psychodynamic therapy places you in the driver seat of the most important intervention ever: You. By understanding your personality, temperament and the patterns of your life, you can change who you are now and thus your destiny. As the saying goes, “doing the same thing and expecting a different result is insanity.”

Several thousand years ago a man once remarked, “the good I want to do, I don’t do. The bad I don’t want to do, I do.” Sound familiar? If a gardener neglects the roots and foundation of the tree, the branches will continue to produce the same results: anxieties, depressions and self defeating behaviors. psychodynamic therapy is a life changing therapy because it does not wait to intervene downstream. Instead, Psychodynamic therapy intervenes upstream at the source.

Here’s what therapy can help you do:

• Understand the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships

• Get to the emotional root of anxiety, depression, or low self-worth

• Explore how early experiences shaped how you see yourself and the world

• Develop healthier ways to cope, connect, and express yourself

• Build self-awareness and emotional depth that lasts a lifetime

In our sessions, you won’t just be talking while I nod—you’ll be heard, engaged with, and gently challenged in a manner that helps you grow.

This is therapy for people who want more than a band-aid.
It’s for people ready to do the deep work of healing, growing, and understanding themselves more fully.

If you’re ready to stop repeating the same patterns and start living with greater clarity and self-trust, let’s talk.
