She uses a range of therapeutic models, however, sees the most client growth utilizing a psychodynamic and psychoanalytic psychotherapy approach. Often, clients may have completed years of therapy but still feel stuck in ways and haven't been able to make the changes they would like. Through exploring conscious and unconscious emotional conflicts by bringing them to awareness and making interpretations a client begins to understand her/himself in new, expanded ways that foster changes to old patterns of being. Ms. Geiger works with many individuals who have experienced emotional, sexual, spiritual or physical abuse. The effects of trauma can permeate one's entire life, leave one immobolized, and often include feelings of self-blame, worthlessness, helplessness, repressed anger and low self-esteem. Some other common presenting problems are: anxiety, depression, trust issues, co-dependency, patterns of unhealthy attachment, boundary issues, grief work, perfectionism, workaholism, loneliness, fear of abandonment or engulfment, addictions, PTSD, and sexual identity. The 'working through process' can eventually free one from restricting, inhibiting, self-critical internal messages that interfere (and often block) one's ability to feel hopeful, worthy, deserving, capable, creative and enough.
