Navigating relationships can be complex, especially when psychological issues come into play. Whether it's anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or personality disorders, psychological problems can significantly impact how individuals relate to others. These challenges often manifest in various ways within relationships, such as increased conflict, difficulty expressing emotions, intimacy issues, and a sense of disconnect.

One way psychological problems impact relationships is through the projection of unresolved issues onto partners or loved ones. For example, someone with unresolved childhood trauma may inadvertently seek out partners who replicate familiar dynamics from their past, leading to cycles of dysfunction and distress. Additionally, psychological issues often affect communication within relationships. Individuals may struggle to express their needs, fears, and emotions openly, leading to misunderstandings and conflicts. Therapy provides a safe space for patients to explore and process their feelings, allowing for greater clarity and authenticity in communication with other people in their life outside the therapy office.

Ultimately, psychoanalytic therapy offers a path towards deeper understanding, healing, and transformation in relationships affected by psychological issues. Through consistent work in therapy, it is possible to explore these patterns, understand their origins, and work towards breaking free from destructive cycles. I also offer couples, family and group therapy, which provide a unique opportunity to address triggers and reactivity in the moment during the session.
