I am a therapist in training under the supervision of Dr. Rick Ertell, LPC-S, EdD. I want to help people find value in who they are, and not on what they do. We tend to put so much value on our profession, that we often forget who we area outside that circle that defines our sole identity. We work so hard to be better at what we do, and neglect improving our human nature. I want to hep people find their worth, through the exploration of values, and beliefs. To do this, we might have to explore the past, and find the root of the person's current behavior. It might feel scary, but we travel at the speed you need. This is a safe space.

Our past experiences can have a significant impact on our present day problems. Unresolved childhood trauma can present itself in adulthood as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, avoidance, self-sabotage, insecurity, fear of abandonment, low self-worth, low self-esteem, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and difficulty dealing with confrontation or conflict. Trauma can also present itself physically in the form of body aches and pains, muscle tension, and sleep disturbance. Therapy can be highly beneficial in healing from trauma, managing stress, and building resilience.

I work with clients who have experienced trauma, whether it be recent or in childhood, those experiencing grief as a result of loss or from other life experiences, people facing terminal illness and the end of life, and those who are interested in engaging in a psychodynamic process to develop insight and awareness into how their past is expressing itself in the here and now. I enjoy working with clients who are ready to experience life more fully and to feel more at home in their bodies. Trauma and grief have a way of disconnecting us from our bodies, causing us to feel isolated and cut off from our own natural path toward healing.

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.
