One of my strengths is that I know how hard it can be to get started in therapy, so I always try to be sensitive and reassuring to my clients as we get to know each other. I am capable of reaching many different types of clients, but I most enjoy helping people who have been struggling for a long time and who cannot see a way out of their situation.

You’ve been feeling like something is “off” for a while now. You constantly feel unmotivated, without direction, sad, anxious and lost. It seems like your friends and everyone around you is happier and more together. Do you ask yourself why life seems so hard for you? You are lonely and feel like no one understands. Maybe you’ve reached out for help before. Therapy wasn’t helpful. You talked to a well-meaning someone who told you to do something: get fit, make more friends, ‘put yourself out there,’ pray more. At this point you don’t want advice, you just want to be heard and seen for who you are.

My counseling experiences over the years have been incredibly enriching and meaningful. I am continually moved by the varying degrees of challenging life experiences that we are all tasked with navigating and the ways we attempt to cope, gain insight from, and hopefully transform our adverse circumstances. I’ve had the opportunity to assist a diverse range of clients in both inpatient treatment and outpatient therapy settings. Within these programs I’ve helped clients address anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, academic challenges, relationships, identity changes, sexuality, and general life stressors.

You’re trapped in a never-ending nightmare while living through narcissistic abuse. At first, it was subtle–they showered you with affection, painting a picture-perfect image of love and adoration. Then, slowly, insidiously, the mask began to slip. Their affection turned into manipulation. They gaslit you and chipped away at your self-esteem. Now, you find yourself walking on eggshells, tiptoeing around their ever-changing moods. Even as you suffocate under the weight of their control, you can't bring yourself to leave. Fear holds you captive. Fear of what they'll do if you try to escape, fear of being alone, fear of the unknown.

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.
