My treatment approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBTp, CBT-social functioning, CBT for Anxiety), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT )for PTSD and Sexual Abuse, as well as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Person Centered, Psychodynamic, and Solution Focused Therapies.
Are you experiencing depression or anxiety? Are you trying to understand where you fit in this world or your relationships. You are not alone and what you are feeling matters. I believe that everyone deserves a safe place to navigate their emotions. My goal is for you to feel heard and allow you the time to focus on YOU! So many times, in the day to day, we get lost, and our emotions take a back seat to our jobs, school, family and the expected roles we play. This is your safe space to talk about what is on your mind, be accepted, navigate emotions and get in touch with what and how you want life to look like.

I enjoy working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and process addictions and clients struggling with a relationship. I offer clients a safe environment to explore their thoughts, feelings, and past to learn about their present life. My ideal client would be aware that they need help. They are also prepared and open to doing the necessary work to address their issue. They understand that therapy is a process they cannot complete overnight. They know that their previous methods have failed and are willing to try again with me.

Whether you are coming to therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, a life change, or just a general sense of unease, facing these issues can be scary. Healing isn’t easy because it involves confronting our pain and hurts. Healing can also be full of joy, hope, connection, and freedom as we experience new possibilities of being and relating. My approach is warm, relational, and integrative. I strive to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to look inward – to gently and compassionately welcome all parts of yourself with less judgment and shame.

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.
