You're likely here because you're stuck in some way. Others seem to be living life, but you can’t. Something's in the way. This feeling may have come about after a dramatic change in your life- a loss of a relationship, role, or life situation. Or, it may feel as if this is coming from nowhere, with no rhyme or reason. “I have no reason to be feeling this way, but I can’t help it." Often, beginning to understand exactly what is going on for you, even if you already have a sense of it, can be an incredibly meaningful experience in and of itself...

It’s getting harder and harder to get out of bed and face the day. You are tired of fighting an invisible wall that's keeping you stuck. Tired of perfectionism and imposter syndrome. Tired of neglecting your own needs, of making yourself smaller. You feel guilt when you take time for yourself and feel overwhelmed with demands. Difficult memories and feelings come to the surface more and more and you aren’t sure how to handle it all on your own. You aren't sure how to stop turning back to unhealthy habits and unfulfilling relationships. You want to feel good about your life again. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist.

With 15 years of experience in the school setting, I work mostly with teens, educators, and parents, but I have a heart for helping anyone that feels overwhelmed and needs help navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or trauma.

I have been married for 17 years and have 3 adult step children, a son-in-law and 3 grandchildren. I also have 2 cats that are important members of the family. Family is something I view to be a living entity, challenging at times, and I have come value over the years. My life experiences have given me insight and perspectives that allow me to make unique connections with my clients. I learned that life is ever changing. I have come to realize is that during times when we feel defeated, it does not mean we are unable to change the outcome or our quality of life in the future. Nor, is it too late to create the life we do want.

My framework for practice comes from a relational and psychodynamic lens, allowing us to discuss the current burdens or challenges you face, while also looking at how our past impacts us currently.
Have you been called a perfectionist? you really hard on yourself? Do you often see the world as very black and white, right or wrong? Do these qualities put a strain on your relationships? It is exhausting to try to measure up to these expectations that the world puts on us, or even worse, that we put on ourselves. By engaging in a therapeutic relationship, my hope is for you to find self-compassion and freedom.

I work with individuals, couples and families - with an emphasis on exploring how our relationships inform our sense of ourselves, and how the way we experience ourselves informs our relationships. My approach blends a psychodynamic focus on individual experience and perspective with a relational interest in understanding people in context. Clients describe my style as warm, curious, and collaborative. My aim is to create a safe space in which you can express yourself freely, and freely pursue difficult questions. I believe that coming to know yourself is one of life’s greatest privileges and a pre-cursor to relating authentically.

I use a mix of psychodynamic theory, IFS, CBT/DBT, and Somatic Therapy to help my client's go deeper into their lived experience, gain new self-awareness, and transform.
Do you ever feel like you're living for other people? Are your relationships wearing you down? Do you find yourself in sabotage cycles that keep you stuck, in shame, and feeling as if you can't access a life that feels authentic to you? Do you feel like something is off in your life, but can't figure out what? If so, I am eager to meet you! I pride myself in working with people who, through experiencing deep pain and dissatisfaction in their life, feel ready to dig deep, gain clear insight on what's blocking them from their true desires in life, and start re-creating a life of authenticity, freedom, self-compassion, and confidence.

Making the decision to seek therapy takes a lot of courage. Allow me to take that journey with you! I am trained in scientifically proven techniques to help alleviate depression, anxiety and trauma. These issues can weigh us down from time to time and, if left unchecked, can profoundly affect us in our daily lives. Some days we struggle just to make it through the day! Counseling can empower you with skills to help you function better in your daily life. Once empowered with tools, this can carry over into other areas of your life giving you a greater sense of well-being. When you feel better, your relationships benefit as well.

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.
