Solution based therapy for Teens and Adults looking to achieve Confidence, Clarity, and Lasting Wellbeing
Carrying anger, resentment, or constant worry—feeling anxious, tense, and overwhelmed—is draining. These emotions don’t define who you are; they’re signs of deeper concerns that need attention. Your body is telling you that something within needs healing. You’re not alone.
Each of us has our own unique struggles. These are some that I see most often.
-
These difficulties may involve repeating the same unproductive or harmful patterns in romantic, family, or workplace settings. Examples include constantly choosing similar partners or repeatedly experiencing the same conflicts, even with different people. Psychodynamic therapy helps you recognize underlying emotional triggers, heal old wounds, and shift dysfunctional patterns so you can cultivate healthier, more satisfying relationships.
-
Early experiences and traumas can leave an emotional imprint that continues to shape adult thoughts, behaviors, and self-esteem. Whether rooted in neglect, abuse, or other painful events, these unresolved issues can manifest as anxiety, depression, or difficulty establishing trust. By exploring these formative experiences, you can start to release longstanding emotional burdens and create a more secure, integrated sense of self.
-
Feelings of anxiety, guilt, anger, or sadness that repeatedly resurface may signal deeper, unaddressed emotional conflicts. Instead of being situational, these emotions persist or intensify, making day-to-day functioning challenging. Psychodynamic therapy helps uncover the internal factors driving these patterns, allowing for meaningful change rather than temporary relief.
-
A pervasive sense of inadequacy or shame can stem from early attachment issues, parental criticism, or internalized negative beliefs. People struggling with chronic insecurity often find it difficult to form healthy relationships or take meaningful risks for personal growth. Therapy can offer insight into how and why these feelings developed, guiding you toward self-acceptance and confidence.
-
Uncertainty about personal goals, desires, or values can leave you feeling lost or overwhelmed. This confusion sometimes arises from internalizing conflicting expectations—such as parental aspirations, cultural norms, or peer pressure—and losing touch with your authentic self. Through exploration of past and present influences, therapy supports you in clarifying who you are and what truly matters to you.
-
Behaviors that undermine your own success or well-being—procrastination, substance abuse, or pushing people away—are often rooted in unconscious fears or conflicts. These destructive habits can feel impossible to break without understanding their deeper origins. By revealing the emotional or relational factors that fuel self-sabotage, you can adopt healthier ways of coping and pursuing your goals.
-
Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a significant life transition, or even the loss of a dream, unprocessed grief can linger and manifest as depression, anger, or emotional numbness. Moving forward becomes difficult without addressing the heartbreak head-on. Psychodynamic therapy offers a space to process and integrate the full range of grief emotions, laying the foundation for eventual acceptance and emotional healing.
