When we grow up in rejecting environments, we learn to see our needs as burdens. As we enter adulthood we may struggle to say “no” and may find it challenging to disconnect from work or the needs of others in our families and the relationships around us. We may find that we don’t feel seen, heard, and/or understood by the people around us, which may make us work even harder to earn the validation that we want from people around us. Unfortunately, when we get it, the validation doesn’t resonate with us. Relational therapy can be a place where we begin to start feeling heard and understand what we need to start meeting our own needs.

It's not always easy asking for help. When you're ready to reach out it's important to find someone who will listen, understand and help you find your way. My communication style is caring, non-judgemental and easy going. I am very easy to talk to and genuinely interested in helping others work through issues that are important to them. Life is filled with a variety of challenges and often a safe, nurturing environment with a skilled therapist is what's needed to problem-solve and heal some of life's more difficult transitions.

After finishing my Bachelor's degree from Wichita State University, I decided to take a year off before getting my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Friends University in 2002. After spending several years in the social service world, I knew eventually I would end up in private practice and began on that path. I opened my private practice and eventually grew the practice to three different locations and managed a group of over 20 different providers. I also opened up and ran a group home for youth in foster care. At this time I accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Humana and Medicare

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.
