A relational, psychodynamic approach

A relational, psychodynamic approach focuses on how your sense of self is shaped through relationships—past and present. Rather than seeing struggles as something that exists only within you, this approach looks at the patterns that emerge between you and others, including within the therapeutic relationship itself. By exploring these dynamics together, therapy becomes a space to understand old patterns, experience new ways of relating, and create more authentic, flexible connections in your life.
