Seeking help when you are going through difficult times really comes down to one desire-you seek change. We want to change the things in our lives that are causing us pain or distress. Whether it be external circumstances or something about us or within us, how many times have we said to ourselves, “if I could change this, or just change that, then I will happy.” Sometimes we can make the changes we seek and are still not happy, or not as happy as we thought we would be. Why is that? Other times that process can seem like a road that never reaches its destination.

As a psychotherapist, I believe that healing begins with self awareness. I view therapy as a collaborative, non-judgmental process that ultimately leads to deeper understanding, progress and change. My therapeutic approach focus is to explore with clients patterns as they relate to past and present experiences, and breaking those that no longer serve them.

One of my favorite quotes is "Life ain't always beautiful, but it's a beautiful ride." I have often found that life can throw you a curveball when you least expect it and it is often hard to navigate those challenges on your own. Have you ever found yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed about things going on in your life ? What if you could have an unbiased, safe space to openly express those thoughts or feelings without needing to censor yourself or fear judgement. That is what I do for my clients, provide a safe space where you can feel empowered to openly express yourself and work towards achieving your goals.

As I like to tell my clients, anyone at any stage of their lives can benefit from therapy. Maybe you're experiencing anxiety, depression, or life stress, etc. Therapy helps by having someone to talk with, process the stress, and formulate a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. Therapy works best as a collaborative process between the therapist and client, working together to achieve a positive and supportive workplace where mental and emotional health can thrive.

Mental strength is not the ability to stay out of the darkness; it's the ability to sit present in the darkness knowing that the light will shine again. As a psychotherapist, my goal is to provide clients with a safe place to feel relaxed and able to speak freely and honestly. I'm there to motivate, engage and guide them. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered, problem solving and motivational techniques. I aim to provide an empathically supportive atmosphere, where clients can feel at ease, take a deep breath and begin to look at their life's problems from a fresh, new perspective.

I offer an integrative and psychodynamic approach to therapy that puts an emphasis on working with symptoms and their presentations, not masking or judging them in the name of irrationality.
To understand the motivation between our thoughts and feelings, one must embrace the shadow beneath the light that we want to be shown. My ideal client wants to know themselves better than anyone else and is willing to work toward acceptance of themselves and others. They might have faced hardships that are rooted in issues of self esteem and self worth, or have faced external pressures that have taken a toll such as with maltreatment and abuse.

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.
