What is Psychotherapy:
Therapy helps to provide ways of identifying and expressing feelings, understanding patterns of thinking, gaining perspective on past events, your current relationship and life situation, and setting goals for future transformation. Therapy can alleviate pain, suffering, anxiety and depression and can add meaning and richness to your life and relationships. The goal of therapy is to build a connected and trusting relationship in a safe environment to visit old and new stages of life.
I use several methods of therapy in my practice:

-

-
Psychodynamic: Focuses on unconscious patterns of behavior and the relationship with therapist to process and resolve issues
