While I incorporate multiple approaches catered to address each individual, I most often utilize approaches rooted in psychodynamic, interpersonal, and existential therapy.
I believe every person develops an internal story about themselves that tends to dictate the way they live, how they interpret experiences, and how they respond to life stressors. For various reasons, we can begin to see ourselves as characters in our life stories rather than active agents who are in control of the way our life unfolds. This in turn affects our outlook, thoughts, mood, choices, and relationships.

I help clients develop life skills to improve their relationships, decrease their anxiety and find joy in and acceptance of the present moment. Specifically, I combine mindfulness and meditation with cognitive behavioral therapy and traditional psychodynamic methods so that clients can both understand and change what blocks them from happiness.

In 2023, adolescents face many pressures that adults have never experienced. Social media has created an environment that forces children and adults alike to be constantly "on", creating a level of anxiety that is unparalleled. Therapy is an outlet that is not only no longer stigmatized, but a necessity in order to grow and thrive in a healthy way. I specialize in assisting teens and adults with their anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Therapy should not be a last ditch effort to save one's relationships - it should be consistent maintenance of oneself.

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.
