I employ a psychodynamic, person-centered approach, creating an environment that's warm and inviting.
Life often deviates from our expectations, burdening us to the brink of tears. Amidst hectic schedules, we desire nothingness but feel compelled to act. In these overwhelming times, we risk feeling overworked and undervalued, not just by others but by our own critical inner voice. This is where I come in, to guide you to be more curious and open to learning about yourself and what you want versus what everyone else wants. Here is where you can practice advocating for yourself and learning to make boundaries with yourself and those around you.

My education immersed me in psychodynamic, psychosocial and family systems theories.
As a psychologist, I have worked for over 30 years with people dealing with various life challenges—depression, anxiety, relational issues and more. I maintain a strong subspeciality in eating disorders as well—including and especially the more common struggles: emotional overeating, constant dieting, binging, and body dissatisfaction. I believe it’s important for us all to understand ourselves, including how and why our struggles developed. At the same time, I know that understanding often doesn't help enough with the agony of longstanding emotional pain or addictive behaviors.

I use a cognitive behavioral (CBT) and psychodynamic approach.
I am experienced in helping clients recapture the person they previously were. Many clients say to me, "I just want to go back to being the person I used to be", and that's exactly what we focus on. Clients also often say to me, "I just don't know what to do or what I want", and we work together until we figure out how to alleviate their confusion. We achieve this in various ways, most often through exploration of the presenting issues, examination of past relationships and significant experiences as well as decision-making and behavioral patterns.

Now, more than ever, it is easy to feel atomized, disconnected from ourselves, and to be without enriching personal relationships. Many of my patients feel at an impasse in their lives, stuck repeating the past while struggling to see the future, or alone in their suffering. I primarily work with boys and men in weekly psychodynamic counseling to overcome social struggles, grief, trauma, and depression.

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.
