Within us there can be pockets of hurt, resentment, fear, and grief. These vulnerable parts coexist uneasily with another side — the one determined to keep moving forward. Therapy can act as a bridge, carefully navigating between these opposing sides. By acknowledging these experiences, we can gradually move forward with more clarity and peace. My goal as your therapist is to create a space that is warm, affirming, and compassionate — a place where you can freely explore your authentic self, dive into the root causes of your suffering, and develop insight into what you are truly searching for.

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.

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.

Sometimes, we find ourselves looking at the week ahead and hoping that we make it to Friday in one piece. That all the projects at work, homework, laundry, dishes, and everything in between magically finds itself completed. Oh yes, and don’t forget about being a good parent, friend, and partner! The gap from now until Friday is filled with dread, shallow breaths, sleepless nights, and pouring yourself out to everyone and everything, and by the end of the week, all you're left with is a couple little droplets meant for your own “self-care.” Then, it’s Monday again and you find yourself wondering how to break this endless loop.

In my work with clients I prefer to maintain a holistic focus on the individual. No matter what you are struggling with I find it hard to imagine that there is only one way of looking at it to understand the problem. My goal in therapy is to have my clients walk away from session with new insights and goals that allow them to orient towards creating change. Knowing what it is that you want out of life can be incredibly powerful, and therapy can be a great opportunity for growth.

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.
