I use a psychodynamic, person-centered framework, and incorporate CBT and mindfulness skills.
Taking the steps towards meaningful and lasting change is no easy feat and it takes courage to start/restart the therapy process. Congrats on getting started; I’m happy you’re here. I work with individual adults who struggle with anxiety, life changes/transitions, and relationship problems, as well as more complex issues like mood disorders, personality disorders, and trauma histories. I believe that having a successful treatment outcome starts with providing you with a safe, trusting, confidential therapist-client relationship.

Stress can be psychologically toxic, even for helpers. Loss, trauma, injury/Illness anger, shame & fatigue can lead to anxiety and depression as well as relationship and behavior problems. Therapeutic relationships improve health by assisting with psychological detoxification and with the establishment of healthy emotional, interpersonal/social, mental, and physical habits to help inoculate against these "toxins." Sometimes natural healthy defenses against toxic stress break down and fail to protect us against painful or maladaptive feelings, thoughts, and beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world around us.

Relationships can be rich and rewarding as well as disappointing and painful. Perhaps you have repetitive arguments that go nowhere, or have reached an impasse, or your relationship has become distant and lacks intimacy. You may be experiencing a relationship crisis involving infidelity or other forms of betrayal. Creating a satisfying relationship that can stand the test of time requires skill, attention, and effort. I help couples develop the necessary relational skills to communicate and problem-solve more effectively, understand each other better, manage reactivity, navigate difficult challenges, and find a path forward.

“I love my therapist, but we’ve hit a plateau,” potential clients often say when reaching out to me. Or they’re tired of being treated like they’re broken. If you’ve spent years in therapy and are ready to go deeper and experience profound shifts and lasting change, try mindfulness-based, somatic (body-mind) psychotherapy and inner parts work. In short time, most new clients say, “Wow, that was very different from what I expected!”—in a positive way. If you’re a highly sensitive person (HSP), empath, or old soul yearning to be truly understood and are ready to process more deeply and talk and analyze less, welcome!

Seeking therapy is a powerful choice of courage and hope. It’s driven by your tenacious belief that the person you are now and the circumstances you’re in are not the final story. I view therapy as a freeing process of telling your unique story of being human in a context that is non-judgmental and self-curious. Putting words to your story opens a space between you and your struggle so you can step outside the fog of your suffering and address what keeps you from your best life.

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.
