The same conflicts may recur despite efforts to communicate differently, leaving one or both partners feeling misunderstood, disconnected, angry, or alone. Psychodynamic couples therapy looks beneath the immediate conflict to consider what may be taking place within and between partners. Each person brings a history of relationships, expectations, vulnerabilities, and ways of protecting themselves that can shape the life of the couple in ways neither may fully recognize. Therapy offers an opportunity to become more curious about these patterns rather than simply repeating them. As each partner comes to experience themselves and the other in new ways, different ways of relating can become possible. I work with couples across a range of identities and relationship configurations, including LGBTQ+ couples. https://www.ctapsychotherapy.com/clinicians daily 0.75 2026-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fd6022ebd8b2958aafcd1/1615153313751-MK4B9BTIISTUFG8ID11W/unsplash-image-YbiL2tzN_ig.jpg Consultation for Clinicians - Clinical Supervision and Consultation I offer clinical supervision and consultation to psychotherapists who are interested in deepening their psychoanalytic and psychodynamic understanding of clinical work. Supervision provides a space to think together about clinical process, transference and countertransference, and the complexities that emerge in ongoing treatment. My approach emphasizes careful listening, curiosity, and openness to multiple perspectives, with attention to both clinical theory and the lived experience of the therapeutic relationship. Whom I Work With I work with: Early-career clinicians seeking to develop a psychodynamic perspective Experienced therapists interested in deepening analytic thinking Clinicians in psychoanalytic training programs Therapists seeking consultation around complex or long-term cases Approach to Supervision Supervision is not oriented toward evaluation, but toward collaborative reflection on clinical experience. Attention is given to moments of uncertainty, impasse, and emotional difficulty in treatment, as these often open important avenues for understanding. The aim is to support the development of each clinician’s own clinical voice and capacity for reflective practice. Format Supervision and consultation are available in person in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area or remotely. https://www.ctapsychotherapy.com/faq-2 daily 0.75 2026-10-02 https://www.ctapsychotherapy.com/individuals daily 0.75 2026-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602fd6022ebd8b2958aafcd1/1790941198684-62MQ7P0DT9TTEJHKO1IQ/unsplash-image-tDmyT9qZWrw.jpg Individual Psychotherapy & Psychoanalysis I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis for adults. People come to individual treatment for many different reasons, from particular emotional or relational difficulties to a less easily defined sense that something in their lives needs attention. Some of the concerns and experiences I frequently work with include: Anxiety and depression Trauma and difficult early experiences Relationship difficulties and recurring patterns LGBTQ+ identity, sexuality, gender, and relationships Religious trauma, shame, and the effects of harmful religious experiences Therapists and mental health professionals seeking psychotherapy or psychoanalysis Psychotherapy may take place once or more frequently each week. Psychoanalysis typically involves meeting more often, allowing greater space and continuity for the work to develop over time. The form and frequency of treatment I recommend depends on what brings you in and what becomes apparent through the consultation process.
