I am grounded in a depth-oriented relational psychodynamic psychotherapy and use an integrative approach in my work.
Hi, I'm Ewa (eh-vuh). I honor all human experience just as it is and recognize that life is rarely linear. At times life may bring challenges that impact and even overwhelm our ability to access and utilize our capacity to heal. Through counseling it is possible to be curious, alongside one another, about the questions your life is asking you. I have confidence that we can co-create a space in which the authentic part of you can be seen and heard in ways that honor your truth. I aim to help you process your complex emotional experiences so that you could live with greater ease and comfort in your relationship with self and others.

The story of our lives often shape our day to day experiences. As we open up to our story and how we ended up at a certain space in our lives, we begin to see patterns. We begin to see unhealthy ways we have responded to people, relationships that have been less than productive, or events that unfolded different than we had hoped. In order to grow and set a new course, we need to identify the patterns that have lead us here. Therapy is about doing just that - uncovering underlying, most the time subconscious, ways of thinking, so that we can become the people that we want to be.

A common phrase I hear is "I just feel stuck." The people who say that know there is something better out there, but they don't know how to move in that direction. My role is to help you better understand yourself, heal from whatever life has thrown at you, and make the most of who you want to be. Many people reach out because their lives seem to lack meaning, they don't feel worthwhile, they find some challenges overwhelming, or they just don't seem to feel joy from their relationships or activities. That's where we begin the work. We start where you are.

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.
