Psychoanalytic psychotherapy involves a unique setting, circumstance, and partnership through which remarkable personal development is possible.  Not only is it possible to work through specific problems and personal concerns but also to reduce pain and gain greater satisfaction and pleasure from work, love, and play. 

Through therapy, couples can learn to avoid the pitfalls of contempt, criticism, defensiveness, and withdrawal an can begin to communicate more effectively, better manage conflict, avoid common relationship pitfalls, find ways to maintain compassion and calm in the face of anger, and expand the capacity to know and be known by one another.
