Our clients function in daily life but feel held back by unresolved issues like persistent sadness, anxiety, or past trauma. They may struggle with relationships, feeling isolated due to tension or conflict, and might also face internal challenges like unmanaged anger. They seek therapy to gain insight into their emotions, learn coping strategies, and heal from past wounds. Their goal is to feel more in control, improve relationships, and live a balanced, fulfilling life, aligned with their values and aspirations.

My approach is psychodynamic and attachment-informed.
I offer a space where you can be met as you are and where your experiences are explored with care, curiosity and compassion. I work with people who want to understand their patterns, navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater clarity. In my private practice, I support people navigating anxiety, low mood, stress, life transitions, grief and loss, difficulties in relationships, self-esteem concerns, and the emotional impact of trauma and the perinatal period.

I also use a psychodynamic approach and IIFS as well as look at a person’s health and social impacts on a person's life.
In my 29 years as a mental health provider, I have taken great pride in helping people through a variety of challenges and life events. To me, therapy is about become whole again, healing current issues and past traumas, (even the ones we don’t remember, but our bodies and psyche does). Most often clients present with one issue and the connections we make during our work together show many layers and exactly why these situations arise. I help my clients not only understand where they are and why they are there, but also what they must do to change their lives, heal, and move forward a happier and healthier person.

I practice psychodynamic psychotherapy - an approach to therapy which encourages growth in awareness and deep seated change
I work with adult individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, or who are seeking to explore complicated life matters. People often seek my services in order to: understand themselves better; explore issues of the self (including self-acceptance and self-esteem); or stop feeling like they go out of their way to please everyone else.

Hi, I’m Donald. A lot of the people who find their way to me aren’t “falling apart” in obvious ways - they’re functioning, capable, often the ones others rely on - but there’s a persistent sense that something isn’t right. Maybe you can’t find ease in yourself, you keep repeating the same relationship patterns, or you’re tired of managing life while feeling disconnected from it.
My work is relational, attachment-informed, and formulation-driven.

My approach is warm and relational, using attachment, interpersonal and psychodynamic therapies to explore how your past shapes your present.
Hello and welcome.
If you’re seeking deeper self-understanding and meaningful change, we can work together to strengthen your connection with yourself and others. While practical strategies can be valuable, they don't always address the underlying reasons we find ourselves repeating the same emotional or relational patterns. Whether you're seeking relief from distress, wanting greater self-awareness, or stronger connections in your relationships, therapy can help you move toward a more fulfilling and meaingful life. Together, we can explore the deeper roots of these experiences and create opportunities for change.

I support adults, older adults and teenagers experiencing grief, loss, bereavement, trauma, migration, and major life transitions. Many come after the death of a loved one.

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.
