I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic insight, and art therapy to create a safe space for healing.
My primary focus is helping people thrive in their daily lives, not just survive. The majority of clients I see are high functioning yet feel empty, disconnected, stressed, or stuck. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, addiction, life transitions, or challenges with intimacy and relationships, I’m here to help you. Together we’ll identify what’s keeping you stuck, break patterns that no longer serve you, and help you reconnect with your authentic self. I understand how vital it is to love ourselves and others openly and honestly. By fostering this kind of self-acceptance, we can greatly improve our overall well-being.

I am trained in DBT and CBT but primarily use attachment and psychodynamic approaches.
I'm experienced working with people who struggle with trauma, addiction, mood disorders, relationship issues, and personality disorders. The clients I typically work with suffer from underlying issues that manifest as self-sabotage, anxiety and depression, conflict with family or friends, toxic relationships, and compulsive behaviors. I believe that healing happens in safe relationships and enjoy working to develop that with my clients.

My clinical training is psychodynamic with a focus on in depth client centered work.
I believe that therapy as a proactive tool used by an individual to make their life more fulfilling and productive. Therapy should not be viewed as an indication of mental illness, but rather , as mental health. Therapy is a way for a person to gain more understanding about themselves and those in their life and make positive changes, deal with issues such as addiction or other self defeating behaviors that get in the way of living the life they want. I view therapy as a partnership between the therapist and patient. The patient is proactive and involved in the work that is important to them.

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.
