At Four Seasons Therapy the focus is on you and how to work the solution to reach your life's goals.

Feelings of depression, anxiety, loss or unexpected life circumstances oftentimes have a crushing way of throwing one off balance. At an emotionally vulnerable time, it may seem even more challenging to take care of oneself and to seek help through therapy. In a safe, empathic, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment, I provide sensitive psychotherapy to adults and couples. I believe that by working with people to help them recognize the origin of their emotional distress will allow them to pull on their strengths to overcome these challenges and gain a deeper level of personal insight.

As a psychologist, my job is to help my patients identify problematic patterns, understand formative relationships, and develop self understanding. The greatest predictor of success in therapy is the therapist-patient relationship and finding a therapist with whom you feel understood and can explore painful issues is crucial. The essence of good therapy is empathy, tactful directness, and a collaborative approach to help people make and internalize changes to improve relationships and impart a sense of well-being. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore the past and create a new future.

I specialize in helping adults heal from complex trauma and improve their quality of life. I enjoy working with the college aged population up to those in their 50's where we often explore the impact of childhood experiences on present day functioning, how to promote supportive relationships through communication skills and boundary implementation, and work on strengthening your sense of self to feel confident and empowered. Navigating life transitions, promoting sexual well-being, exploring spirituality or adversity to it, and engaging in premarital work with couples are also topics that I enjoy assisting with.

While lasting change takes time, when individuals and families are struggling or in crisis, it is important that they find some immediate relief; I am mindful about attending to urgency for results. When helping someone make the changes they want, I recognize that symptoms of anxiety, sadness and interpersonal conflict all occur within contexts; these problems exist within a person and within a system - whether family, social or occupational.

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.
