Additionally, my practice is shaped by principles of attachment theory, a psychodynamic understanding of relationships, and family systems theory.
I work with adolescents and adults around areas of anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. Through the therapeutic relationship, as well as examining interpersonal relationships and family dynamics, we can better understand painful and difficult experiences. We work to identify motivations, reactions, patterns, and automatic assumptions. This understanding helps gently guide the healing process and empowers the individual to approach their own behaviors with curiosity rather than shame. I have a special interest in working with adolescent girls around issues of self-esteem, anxiety and identity.

I integrate psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and logotherapy to help you build self-awareness and empower you to tackle your obstacles with courage and confidence.
When mental health is compromised, peace and stability can feel out of reach. Struggles are guaranteed in this life, but no one should have to suffer alone. If you find yourself lacking effective coping strategies, experiencing grief, constantly worrying, losing interest to live, or battling harmful behavior or thoughts, you may benefit from therapy. The goal of psychotherapy is to bring insight into why you act, think, and feel the ways you do so that you can grow into the person you're meant to be. This insight unlocks your ability to make lasting improvements in your behaviors, emotional stability, and relationships.

I believe that we all experience trauma at some point in our lives whether we recognize it or not. Unaddressed and unprocessed trauma affects all aspects of our lives - school, work, parenting and relationships. Initially, my goal is to help individuals understand and identify trauma and how it impacts everyday living. As the therapeutic process continues, I will aid in creating new healthy pathways of thinking as well as how to react and respond to triggers that result from past traumatic events.

I view counseling as a partnership between the client and myself. I see my role as enabling people to explore ways to heal from emotional hurt, to discover pathways toward more effective and positive ways of thinking, and to adopt helpful patterns of behavior. Through counseling, I help people recognize their strengths; encourage individuals to take responsibility for their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors; and assist people in making and implementing effective decisions.
Using an integrative approach to counseling, the techniques I use are cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, solution-focused, and interpersonal. I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy and family system theories.

I possess a true passion for my work with clients, which is evident in my unwavering commitment to their success. I recognize how terrifying it can be to face deeply rooted issues, so I work hard to establish a safe therapeutic environment with attention to everything from the office experience to how fully present I am in each session. I place premium value on collaborative efforts between clients and therapists, meaning we join together to meet your goals. Real therapy and especially deep personal work is messy and requires vulnerability, trust, and hard work in order to create and maintain life long changes.

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.
