I can start explaining a little about myself. How I like to work. The last years, I've been working with a mixture of individuals using primarily psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and CBT techniques. I like to work with a small number of patients often over a period of time. So no quick fixes here. And if, after this initial session, you decide to move forward, we should aim to meet at this time and this location each and every week. The purpose, or the aim, is to create a time and a space which is entirely yours, week on week.

I’ve been trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities including CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy from a strengths-based, attachment-oriented, trauma-informed, and systems-based approach.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the pressure you put on yourself and by the expectations of others? We're told we need to do well in school, make friends, excel at activities, make other people happy, contribute to society...and all of that can start to weigh you down. Using my vast experience working with children, adolescents and adults in community mental health clinics, schools, non-profits, and group practice, I’ve helped people work through anxiety, depression, self-doubt, identity exploration, social difficulty and trauma.

We therefore integrate psychodynamic work within and alongside ERP, to foster deeper and more lasting change than ERP alone can offer.
We specialize in Rumination-Focused ERP for OCD and anxiety disorders. This approach focuses on treating compulsive rumination, and provides a highly systematic yet gentler approach to exposure therapy. RF-ERP can be helpful to patients who have not made significant progress in other types of treatment, including individuals with Pure O or Sensorimotor OCD.

Life is filled with an array of demands and transitions which can often feel overwhelming. Perhaps you are struggling with a life change, a stressful relationship or trying to find greater personal fulfillment. Therapy can offer a supportive and containing space to explore what you want and need for yourself, as well as growing the relational connections in your life. By creating a safe space together, you can learn to identify your body's cues and thereby better master areas in your life that feel unsettled or stuck. The goal of our work together is to provide awareness, clarity, and healing thereby improving self regulated living.

Having been trained in cognitive, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and systems approaches has been very helpful over the years.
Having been in private practice for approximately 25 years, as well as having worked in hospital, clinic, and school settings, I 've found people are unique individuals typically involved in a variety of systems including family, friends, school, or work. As a result, I've found it important to focus on individual makeup (nature vs. nurture) and environmental influences. Creating a respectful, warm, engaging atmosphere helps facilitate the therapuetic process. Research has shown that the therapuetic relationship between client and psychologist has proved most valuable in creating healthy and productve changes and an improved quality of life.

As a psychodynamic therapist I utilise a variety of tools and techniques that I've been trained in.
We all want to feel whole and achieve meaningful goals in our lives. To do so requires honesty and dedication, especially around the insecurities and defense mechanisms that have become ingrained within our personality. I can help you zoom out to gain more familiarity with your true Self trying to break through the surface of your persona. On one hand, it can be very anxiety provoking to feel that there is more to life than this. But, at the same time, it is an invitation to know, forgive and love yourself unconditionally. An invitation to feel into unknown selves and shadows, to accept You exactly the way you really are.

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.
