Psychodynamic couples therapy is an exploratory kind of therapy. Adults carry within themselves the lessons and feelings from a lifetime of experiences. Some of these are obvious, and some are located outside of one’s awareness. All these experiences and feelings can potentially affect the situation which brings a couple to therapy. Concerns about intimacy and sexual connection can have psychodynamic underpinnings and may also be explored in this therapy. Some couples note that they are having the same quarrel over and over, and they feel stuck and unable to change this pattern. Some are unsure if they wish to stay together.

My ideal client is an individual that is open and motivated for treatment. Healing requires hardwork and dedication. It is important for them to understand that healing is a journey and is not accomplished overnight. I will be an active participant in the healing journey, but I will not be the only participant. Therefore, it is highly important that the individual is committed to the process. I am not a "pill pushing provider" so it is also important to understand and open to therapy being involved in your treatment.
