As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I use a Psychodynamic approach to spark and fuel change that will empower you to gain access to your inherent health and wisdom.
You know how it goes. Life gets hard, things happen, and we develop creative strategies to protect ourselves from real, perceived, and/or anticipated threats of suffering. These strategies, accumulated overtime, suddenly seem to shape much of how we interact with the world. Some are useful and their cost outweighs the pain they help avoid. Others seem so random you can’t even tell how they started; although, you suspect they no longer serve you. A third kind are the strategies you don’t know you’re using, their cause, cost or benefits. After a while, you may feel less connected, less whole, and may not feel and experience as deeply.

My approach is adaptive and client-centered, meaning that I will meet you where and how you are, with evidence-based foundations in EMDR (formally trained), ACT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and parts work, oriented by psychodynamic, systems, and attachment theories.
As your therapist, my commitment to you is to show up authentically human and always remain anchored in warmth, nonjudgmental, and accepting of you with curiosity and flexibility. In the therapeutic alliance we form, the priority will be a foundation of trust and emotional safety where you feel seen, understood, and valued. I find fulfillment through partnering with individuals who are ready to see a change in their lives, whatever that change may be. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy, so I prioritize collaboration, partnership, and the connection between us to find your path of evolution together.

I believe the therapeutic experience should be one of finding clarity, feeling heard, and being empowered. Therapy should not be a place where you are told you are broken and need to be fixed. I’ll encourage your own curiosity and non-judgement, even (especially) toward the things that you might not like about yourself. I am also honored to work alongside my clients as they work to discover ways to look at themselves through a lens of compassion and love in order to provide freedom to just BE. Come as you are.

In a connected world, many still struggle with isolation. Do you feel pressured to always be happy, hiding your true feelings out of fear of rejection? You might question your worth and feel confused when old coping methods stop working. Parents can also feel overwhelmed and disconnected from their kids or teens, creating tension and frustration. Young people often feel misunderstood and alone in their struggles, wishing for someone to truly see and understand them. This disconnect leaves everyone feeling lost and unsure.

There are seasons of our lives that are more challenging than others. Sometimes we are aware of the circumstances causing our distress. At other times we just feel stuck or uncertain. In these seasons we may experience unrelenting anxiety, feelings of despair, intrusive and disruptive thoughts, an increase of conflict in our relationships, the development or increase of harmful behaviors, or all of the above. Getting support from a therapist can provide a relational space where self-awareness can deepen, emotional healing can occur, relationships can be repaired, and meaning can be made.

You’ve been to therapy before, but it keeps feeling more like bandaids than breakthrough. And you’re worried the problem is you. Things start off okay, until the inevitable plateau hits and you keep leaving sessions feeling frustrated and empty. Something’s definitely missing, but you can’t put your finger on what. You just know it hasn’t led to the lasting change you crave. Motivated to do deep work and ready to get at the root, you’ve outgrown the one-size-fits-all approach. Annd it’s also a little scary going to those deeper layers.

Psychodynamic Therapists
Is psychodynamic therapy evidence-based?
Studies have found psychodynamic therapy to be effective in treating conditions like social anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, some personality disorders, and depression; indeed, some studies have found it to be just as effective as CBT or medication. What’s more, several studies have found that the benefits of psychodynamic therapy tend to endure—even grow—long after treatment has ended.
How long does psychodynamic therapy last?
Unlike CBT and other more structured forms of therapy, psychodynamic therapy tends to be open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to three times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. However, brief psychodynamic therapy is available, which tends to be more goal-oriented and typically unfolds over 16 to 30 sessions.
Does psychodynamic therapy work?
Research finds that psychodynamic therapy can help someone manage or reduce symptoms of diagnosable mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The modality may also offer a range of benefits that are harder to measure but just as valuable—such as increased self-worth or healthier relationships. While no therapy type will work for everyone, research and anecdotal evidence suggest that psychodynamic therapy can be highly effective.
What are the limitations of psychodynamic therapy?
Some meta-analyses have concluded that there is little evidence to suggest that psychodynamic therapy can effectively treat certain mental health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, or psychosis, though it is sometimes used to do so. More broadly, the open-ended, free-association structure of psychodynamic therapy may be frustrating for clients who prefer a more structured, time-limited, or goal-oriented approach.
