I apply a psychodynamic approach to discuss unresolved conflicts and explore how your previous experiences are affecting your current thoughts and behavior.
Are you okay? How did you answer that question? Did you suddenly feel overwhelmed? Sad? Frustrated? Deciding to engage in therapy is not easy. Having to face emotions that you have not dealt with for days, months, years, decades, can be overwhelming. Recognizing that you may have feelings and experiences that you have not dealt with, acknowledging the long therapeutic process, and overcoming stigma, are only a few of the challenges that people may face. I am here to remind you that I can and will support you through the first steps.

I help people to have a better understanding of themselves and how their experiences influence choices, behaviors, and feelings. All families have hidden spots in their daily interactions that can impact how children (and parents) perceive and react to a number of situations. I provide comforting and realistic guidance to improve the behavior and relationships in families.

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.
