We often seek therapy when the patterns we developed for self-protection in our early relationships or environment are no longer working. You might feel a lingering sense that you’ve been hiding a part of yourself, feel a lack of fulfillment or meaning in your relationships, or find yourself stuck in ongoing conflict.

Many people come to therapy with concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues. Therapy also supports those facing challenges related to identity, trauma, substance use, compulsive behaviors, anger, perfectionism, life transitions, and more. For those struggling with suicidal thoughts or self-harm, we offer care once stability and readiness for ongoing work are established.

If you feel disconnected from others, yourself, or your own emotions, and want something to change but aren’t sure how, therapy offers a safe, supportive space to explore these feelings and patterns. Together, we’ll work toward greater self-understanding, healing, and the quality of connection you desire.

Issues We Treat in Individual Adult Therapy:

  • Anxiety, worry, overwhelm, and stress

  • Depression, loneliness, and hopelessness

  • Distress due to marginalization or discrimination (neurodiversity, racial identity, spirituality, gender identity, etc.)

  • Personality disorders

  • Trauma, abuse, and PTSD

  • Relationship concerns

  • Concerns or distress around spirituality and religion

  • Substance use

  • Compulsive behavior

  • Anger and reactivity

  • Life transitions and values clarification

  • Perfectionism

  • Suicidal ideation and self-harm (patient needs to have achieved stability and readiness for longer-term work)

This type of therapy may be a fit for you if you are noticing longstanding maladaptive interpersonal patterns, if you have experienced complex or chronic trauma, or if you have not found more structured, skills-based therapy to be helpful. Psychodynamic therapy is relationship-based and designed to change a person’s interpersonal patterns.

This type of therapy helps make connections between early experiences in relationships and a person’s present behavior patterns. This approach deemphasizes the therapist imparting “techniques” or “coping skills.” It empowers the patient to connect the dots through their own history to understand why they have developed behavior patterns that are no longer serving them, and prioritizes having new experiences within the safety of the therapy relationship and beyond.
