People seek psychotherapy for a variety of reasons: The strain of daily life can overwhelm us, disorganizing our relationships and our work; forgotten, unfinished business from childhood can strike unexpectedly, plunging us into panic or deep depression; loneliness, by degrees, can become unendurable. Very few can solve these problems by themselves. But almost everyone can use therapy, a safe, receptive, and confidential setting, to resolve or improve their emotional crises and, beyond that, to reach higher levels of maturity.

Why Psychoanalytically-Oriented Psychotherapy?

We spend our lives trying to keep our balance. But our strategies for keeping that balance may not be sustainable. You might recognize some of these futilities – over exercising, over working, over spending, falling in and out of love. But these strategies depend on the dangerous condition of not knowing oneself, one’s unconscious mind and can sometimes lead to more deeper problems. Some of the problems that psychoanalytically-oriented therapy can help with are:

1. •Anxiety and Depression
   

2. •Self-esteem Issues
   

3. •Relationship Issues
   

4. •Identity Issues
   

5. •Stress
   

6. •Feelings of Isolation
   

7. •Unfulfilled Potential
   

8. •Grief and Loss
   

9. •Sleep Concerns
   

Even when there are no obvious emergencies in your life, a misplaced confidence in your self-knowledge will prevent you from recognizing the inner mischief robbing you of your potential. My psychoanalytically-oriented therapy is open to teenagers and adults of all ages. I offer individual face-to-face therapy as a safe way of becoming aware of hidden, trouble making conflicts and self-defeating motives.
