I have extensive experience with CBT, ACT, Psychodynamic work, couples/family systems, and relational-cultural approaches.
Are you managing the demands of school, work, and family as you grapple with mental health concerns like depression, anxiety, and trauma? It can be overwhelming, because modern life does not slow down for us to repair our mental health and get back to optimal functioning. We often get stuck, just "getting by", suffering in silence. I keep a focus on helping clients quickly and effectively, while at the same time tailoring interventions to each client's unique lived experience.

I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I base my therapeutic approach on the Japanese concept of “Kintsugi” which means “finding strength in imperfection”. When clients are willing to work toward healing from the things that have “broken them” they often become stronger, more resilient, and happier as a result.

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.
