As a spouse to a retired service member and mother to three amazing children, I can offer an “insider’s” perspective to military (active or retired) families. I have a passion for being able to support our military members, veterans, and their families. Through my internship and practice I also developed a strong pull for working with teens and the LGBTQIA+ population. I am still learning how to be a good ally and working hard to practice inclusivity and supportive counseling both in my practice and my life. I enjoy working with teens and young adults as they navigate the struggle of everyday life, helping them to find peace.

I love working with parents (new and old!), college students, and children ages 0-18. I’m the best fit for clients who are looking for longer term therapy so they can really understand themselves and their relationships better. My therapeutic approaches depend on the client's needs and typically include play, art, and talk therapy. I'm a psychodynamic therapist, which means we might end up talking about past relationships, dreams, and underlying reasons for why we do the things we do.

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.
