It is essential that therapists are competent and have evidence-based ideas on how to get from A to B, but therapy at its best is a collaborative relationship. A safe space of non-judgment and curiosity. My stance is non-pathologizing. One of profound respect for every person and a belief that they already hold, and have always held, the key to their own growth and well-being. Personal experience with non-ordinary states and Internal Family Systems therapy has deepened my commitment to assist my clients in accessing this intrinsic inner-healing wisdom and ultimately live more courageously and authentically.

I am client centered and humanistic in my orientation. I work with individuals, couples and families with an understanding of how childhood developmental trauma influences how one engages in relationships to self and with others. I support individuals, couples and families with relational challenges, issues inherent in recovery and provide families with safe containment to explore family dynamics within a Family Systems framework.

My practice is integrative, rooted in the psychodynamic approach, and I pull from a relational, mindfulness, and attachment-based perspective to understand your history and different parts of self, and support your process towards an adaptive and improved quality of life.
My training is based in trauma and its impact on the mind, body, and sense of self. I believe in the power of storytelling; in the stories that have shaped our lived experience, and the ways in which stories help us to make meaning of the world around us. Much of life is a paradox, and within the therapeutic space, we build the capacity to manage opposing truths, and when needed, challenge the stories that inhibit us from feeling more fulfilled and connected to ourself and others.

I use a strength-based approach to therapy, integrating psychodynamic and mindfulness perspectives.
People typically come to see me when they feel anxious, depressed, stressed out, or stuck. I work with clients to help them be more compassionate with themselves, so that they can develop a sense of curiosity and acceptance toward their experiences. As people become curious about why they feel and act the way they do, they are able to see their situation in a new light, and can come up with new solutions.

My client is someone seeking to understand some event or situation that you need help to manage. It takes courage to ask for help. I work with people in life with adjustments, unexpected events, and losses. Many people also encounter surprise, life transitions. These could be moving, divorce, career disruption, empty nest, job change, or retirement. These are personal events that require understanding and deep contemplation with someone you can trust. I confer with each client individually to be able to help with their situation.

I have been a therapist for many years. Therapy, I feel, begins with a relationship, and before someone leaves my office for the first time, I would like them to feel that they are understood and cared for. Very often, people feel overwhelmed in their marriage, , their other relationships, or their life at work. I try to tune in to their current discomfort quickly and give them the idea that we can work together to improve their life.

Hello, I'm so glad you are here! Life is so complex and challenging at times, and can often leave us at a loss of how to navigate through those challenges. It can often feel like a lonely road to walk through. Therapy can be a great place to pause, rest, and explore next steps in moving forward towards a more fulfilling and aligned life. Taking a new step takes courage and you don't have to do it alone. Creating a safe space together to process and explore life is central to my counseling approach.

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.
