My method of practice is person-centered, psychodynamic and experiential.
I am a counselor who believes the counseling process is based on the relationship between client and therapist. I work very hard to hear what you are saying and to "get you." My role is not to tell you what to do, but to be with you on your journey of self-exploration and healing. I am passionate about my work and especially about those who have experienced trauma or who have been deeply affected by relational issues. As we work together, it is my hope that you will be able to move forward with greater perspective and less " baggage."

I work with children and adults utilizing EMDR, CBT, TF-CBT, MI, DBT, and psychodynamic approach.
You deserve to live a life of overall wellness. Anxiety and trauma can make you feel stuck in cycles, impacting not only your personal well-being but also your connections with others. Unwanted thoughts and emotions can be overwhelming to process, leaving you struggling to communicate effectively. Maybe you are seeking a solution to combat your current processing patterns or want to feel more connected to yourself or others. My ultimate goal is to walk with you while exploring your emotions and thoughts without judgment.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you find it difficult to say "no" or set boundaries with others? Do you wonder if life should feel more manageable? More joyful? Maybe you can't quite put your finger on it, but you know something is "off". Today, more than ever before, people are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and uncertain about their life and relationships. Pushing away your emotional pain can lead to long-term issues for you mind and body. It doesn't have to be this way.

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.
