I am a trauma-informed psychologist/therapist, well-versed in CBT, IFS, psychodynamic, mindfulness, and Gottman-based treatment modalities.
My emphasis is mainly on helping you to reduce your clinical symptoms. However I also place a major emphasis on helping you build up your overall courage and self-worth, as well as on you gaining appreciation for your personal strengths and resiliency. My ideal client is anyone who is motivated to work hard, to remain open to being challenged while being comforted and supported too, and to face personal truths which can be difficult for you to face. My therapeutic style blends compassion and support with a big "dose" of directive challenging on a sensitively-timed basis. I look forward to working with you if you reach out!

I use a variety of treatment modalities including DBT-informed interventions, acceptance-based strategies, CBT, narrative approaches, EMDR, and object relations psychodynamic therapy.
As your therapist you can count on me to be genuine, honest, and to never give up on you, even if you've given up on yourself. Whether it's sitting with painful emotions, cultivating comprehensive toolkits, increasing insight, managing relationships, or developing a more compassionate sense of self, I will work with you each step of the way. I firmly believe any individual, when presented with a safe, warm, and caring relationship, will blossom and flourish regardless of their circumstances.

I work in several different modalities and can incorporate CBT, psychodynamic, mindfulness and others in an eclectic approach and adapt to your specific needs.
Life is complicated on its own. Knowing that you need help and making an appointment is a scary step but one that is not lost on me. We come from a world where staying the course and remaining in your comfort zone is the easy thing to do. I am asking you to get a little uncomfortable. Nothing changes unless one is willing to put in the hard work. The fact that you are taking this first step is a huge deal in getting out of your comfort zone and being open to change. It will be my privilege to work with you and help you develop some life goals to help you better deal with all of your current life stressors.

I work with Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic therapies as well as Mindfulness and Thought Inquiry to help you find peace in your life.
Our relationship is the most important part of the therapeutic process. Trust, comfort and clear communication promotes change and positive life transistion. I believe strongly in a calm and safe environment along with conversation, understanding and therapeutic homework. So many of us struggle with focusing on others rather than on ourselves. Taking responsibility and control of our own lives is the first step in creating emotional health. I have worked in this area for my entire career and greatly enjoy helping my clients to take the wheel of their own life! I offer Video or Telephone sessions for your convenience.

I utilize interpersonal/psychodynamic treatment methods which address the underlying issues of a wide array of presenting problems from mood disorders to personality disorders.
If you have found yourself in a pattern of unhealthy relationships or behaviors and have struggled with behavior change, my approach to treatment will likely be a good fit. Finding the right "fit" with a therapist can be a challenging process and is often one of the most important ingredients for successful outcomes. I have experience in working with anxiety disorders, personality disorders, depression/bipolar disorder, OCD, and adjustment disorders. I conduct formal psychological evaluations for diagnostic clarification/treatment planning, as part of pre-surgical clearance, and domestic and international pre-adoption evaluations.

I am drawn to a relational and psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy.
I believe in the primary importance of the relationship between the client and therapist. Within this unique relationship, insight and healing can occur. I have a relational, psychodynamic orientation, and I utilize cognitive behavioral techniques to help people to structure the changes they want to make in their lives. I believe that people can heal from addiction and other unhealthy coping styles when they can identity and manage their emotions, cultivate rewarding connections with others, and develop a compassionate relationship with themselves.

I provide therapy that is about growth, self-understanding, and becoming the person that you really are. Many of my patients come to see me at times of change or transition in their lives. Some come for help that is focused, specific, and relatively short-term. For example, many anxiety problems and life transition issues are suited to short-term work. I know how important it is for patients to feel heard and understood, by a therapist who is non-judgmental. Outcome research on psychodynamic therapy has shown that therapy sets in motion a process of personal growth that continues to develop even after therapy ends.

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.
