I utilize an eclectic approach drawing upon evidence-based practices relying largely upon Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches to treatment.
It is an extremely brave step to enter into therapy. I am truly honored to be invited into the lives of my clients. I provide a safe non-judgmental atmosphere where my clients feel comfortable exploring their innermost thoughts and feelings. Therapy is about identifying beliefs, thought patterns and behaviors that hold people back from achieving their highest potential. If therapy is successful, a client will develop the hope, clarity, courage and self-acceptance necessary to make positive changes in their life.

I am fascinated by the process of healing. To me, deep healing can begin when we have a safe place to tell our story. A place where we won't get interrupted, where someone won't try to "fix" us with their biases, where a genuine, caring person can give us the space to hear ourselves tell our story, to empathize with us, and to affirm us. I find people make the most significant strides in their journey toward healing when they evaluate alternatives and come to a reasoned conclusion themselves, without over-concern about what others think of them.

Something has gone wrong. Communication? Your partner is happily busy with everything and everyone except you? You hear mixed messages like, "I hate you! Don't leave me!" Or, you find yourself thinking, "Too good to leave, too bad to stay". Relationship issues cause self-doubt, loneliness, sadness, and worry. You may feel alone, but in therapy you are not alone. You can talk with someone who listens instead of giving advice. Therapists listen without substituting their personal agenda for yours. We join your quest for health even if it means walking a difficult path. Solutions emerge as we explore problems in a safe place.

During my years working in private practice, I have assisted clients with transforming their lives from desperation and crippling anxiety to a life filled with love and serenity. I have watched families who were broken by addiction who now live a chaotic-free life with improved communication and rid themselves of codependent behaviors. I have had the pleasure of watching couples learn to love and support each other and build a stronger relationship. My goal is to support others to find calmness and wholeness within their lives and relationships. I promise to lean into your feelings and not simply hand you a worksheet.

I work with a variety of individuals, from ages 15 to 115, whether they come in seeking symptom relief for depression or anxiety, or they are facing challenges involving more existential issues. I believe in building a strong trusting relationship with those I work with, and with this type of foundation in place, we can explore everything from grief and loss, to issues surrounding sexuality; from how you see your place in this world, to ways that you can best integrate yourself into it. Your conception of your own self-actualization is my most important guideline.

Sometimes we just need a little help figuring out life's challenges-----help sorting out how to make some of "those" big decisions...or how to pick up the pieces after a fallout, breakup or death of a loved one. Maybe drugs and alcohol have taken over you and the lifestyle you once knew; recovery may be a frightening thing to explore. Sometimes we are caught up in someone else's mess; a loved one with a substance abuse, alcohol or gambling problem. Finances may be causing conflict with others and within ourselves.Sometimes we need help because someone /something may be needing more

Fortunately, through attachment work, EMDR & other modalities, we can heal emotional wounds and move you toward recovery & wholeness. I also work with couples because I learned in grad school that, apparently, relationships are hard.

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.
