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.

As a therapist, I believe my primary responsibility is to provide a safe and supportive atmosphere within which clients can freely explore areas of their lives and selves which have not been working well. I believe in identifying client strengths and in supporting and building on those strengths. At at the same time, I work to help clients develop realistic and healthy alternatives to old habits which are interfering with their abilities to become the individuals they are meant to be and to achieve the goals they have set for their lives.

One of the common threads to the people I have seen over the past 27+ years is their sense of shame. Shame messages are messages that say you're "worthless" and that you just "won't measure up." People who struggle with shame feel like something is wrong with them. It is probably the most painful of our feelings. I will help you resolve the roots that caused your shame. This is the engine that drives all kinds of self-esteem issues, addictive disorders, and mood disorders. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist.

I work with people to assist them in understanding themselves and why they do what they do. Struggles with depression and anxiety may lead people to solutions that may complicate their lives rather than truly solve the problems they are faced with. In therapy, I help people understand the core reasons for their struggles and explore new ways of coping in a non-judgmental, accepting, and confidential atmosphere.

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.

We are born as relational beings looking for others to connect with and trust. When early relationships are unavailable or trust is broken this leads to dysfunctional ways of relating to others and getting needs met.

I also work with Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Addiction, Codependency and Early Developmental Trauma. My desire is to walk through your journey with you providing a safe place to process and learn new healthier ways of managing your life struggles.

Clients I work with often aim to discover a life worth living and trying to heal their relationships. They may be struggling with identity, emotional pain from the past, PTSD or complex PTSD (C-PTSD), relationship issues, depression, anxiety, thoughts of death, or anger.

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.
