I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or quietly carrying more than they let on. Many are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, or major life changes and want a place where they can exhale, be heard, and make sense of what they’re feeling. With 11 years of experience, I offer a warm, grounded, client-centered space focused on emotional healing, personal growth, and building practical tools that support lasting stability, confidence, and a stronger sense of self. Together, we work at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and meaningful.

You may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or confused by reactions that do not seem to make sense, especially if you have experienced early trauma or prolonged stress. Anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or dissociation may be interfering with your life, and previous therapy may not have fully helped. You want answers that go deeper than surface symptoms and a path toward stability and relief. I work with individuals seeking to understand the root causes of their struggles and move toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance.

Life can get the better of us. You may no longer recognize yourself or how you got here. Most overwhelming can be that you don’t know how to make it stop. You may feel trapped in thought, behavior, and relationship patterns that seem beyond your control. You can't make sense of your feelings, or perhaps you feel so disconnected, you are numb to your emotions. If you have found yourself here, I imagine that you are seeking relief and hope.

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.
