How do you want to feel when you’ve gotten what you need from therapy? More empowered? More fulfilled? Also, what do you need from me as your therapist? Strategies? Motivation? Hope? These are questions I tend to ask in some form in the first meeting & I know it takes alot just to book that first session. Some may minimize what they're going through or try to wait for the best time to start. Well, you’ve taken a step just now. I hope you’ll use that momentum to reach out.

I believe that when a patient comes to see a therapist, they often ask these questions. "Will I feel safe, will I be heard without judgment and can this unknown person be trusted?" The therapeutic relationship is the most profound, protected, and valuable asset created between the psychologist and the patient. I am in awe of my patients courage and their ability to trust, so that the issues grappled with can be explored and understood, and that ultimately they can begin to heal and grow in ways that are both needed and desired.

Your current search for a therapist is a wonderfully bold and courageous step toward creating your future.

I am trained in depth psychology including psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, and Jungian perspectives.
In the depth psychology tradition, we consider the Greek use of "psyche" which is inclusive of soul, mind, body, and nature itself. Life experiences can result in disruptions in these connections to self—to psyche—and loss of internal resources. As a result, when faced with challenges, we can feel overwhelmed and disoriented. Therapy can help provide a supportive relationship where these experiences can be explored—recovery of lost or devastated parts of the self can begin. Some of the areas I support clients with include relationship issues, depression, anxiety, transitions, religious trauma, mind-body connection, and creativity,

Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.
How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.
Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.
Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
