Treatment Approach
Individuals may come in for psychotherapy because they are suffering from depression, anxiety or feel confused in their relationships. Others may be struggling with feelings of unhappiness and disappointment in their careers or have difficulty asserting themselves to others. Since a lot of our mental life is out of our awareness, one of the goals of treatment is to heighten awareness of one’s inner motivations and feelings.
Through psychoanalytic psychotherapy our unconscious thoughts and feelings become more accessible to us. This helps to free us of the hidden obstacles that prevent us from personal growth and enjoying life. Psychotherapy can be a slow process, which naturally unfolds by the alliance developed between patient and therapist. Since I work in-depth with one’s feelings, I generally see individuals more than once a week.
