My therapeutic techniques include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic psychotherapy, and person-centered therapy.
Life is full of stressors, transitions, and periods of grief that can be hard to navigate on our own. I aim to provide a genuine and supportive environment where you can feel safe to express your feelings and navigate them at your own pace. I believe that our past shapes us and there is value in exploring our childhood and past patterns, but there is also value in focusing on how our thinking now impacts our behavior and our decisions. My hope is that through the therapeutic process you will obtain insight to support healing and an ability to navigate life’s ups and downs in a more positive way.

We are trained in the use of Psychodynamic (Object Relations Theory and Psychoanalytic Theory) methods that emphasize the importance of childhood experiences and our relationships to our primary caregivers.
We understand the frustrations and feelings of powerlessness that can accompany your symptoms. These symptoms are usually due to stress, overwhelm and difficult life experiences including trauma. You would like to feel heard, understood, hopeful, and more in control of your moods and less a victim of them. Once we can uncover and understand the context of the causes of your symptoms, you will begin feeling more in control and, therefore, better able to create more healthy ways of coping.

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.
