Ms. Sappho understands that young couples today face additional challenges that can disrupt the development of committed and stable relationships.
Some people suffer from problems that interfere with attaining their life goals, maximizing their potential, and leading content lives. These problems stem from conflicts that are at least partially outside of a person’s awareness. The problems vary in intensity and while at times they do not cause discomfort, they interfere with a person’s life in ways that have become apparent to them.
Dynamically oriented therapy involves regularly scheduled sessions, often one but sometimes two times per week. Ms Sappho works with each individual focusing on present-day interactions and relationships and their correlations to the persons past. Ms. Sappho works together with her clients to try to understand the present day interactions on the basis of his or her sensitivities, vulnerabilities, and distortions, which originate in the past.
