Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in your own thoughts can be exhausting, especially when life feels nonstop. Many of the people I work with are accustomed to pushing through stress, overthinking, caring for everyone else first, or feeling like they can never truly relax.
I believe healing often begins by slowing down and listening to what the body has been trying to communicate all along. Our bodies carry stress, emotions, and long-standing patterns in ways we may not always recognize. Learning to notice these signals with curiosity and compassion, rather than judgment, can open the door to meaningful change.

You've been through so much. Far more stress, anxiety, hurt, and betrayal than anyone should ever have to go through. Fear now lives where peace and joy should be. Yet you still have so much left to give. So much love and caring. I'm guessing you have probably heard this before: that you take care of everyone else, possibly at your own expense. Even though you have so much to give to others, it can be very difficult to feel connected to the people you love and to yourself when so much anxiety and fear is present.

After 20 years in the health and wellness world I developed a deep belief that we have what we need to heal ourselves. Each of us carries an innate wisdom in our bodies and we need guidance and support to tap into that innate healing capacity. I am passionate about being witness to that process and working with individuals to creatively find our way to healing.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — depression that won’t lift, anxiety that keeps narrowing their world, or a vague but persistent sense that something is “wrong” with them. A line from an Eagles song captures what I’ve witnessed again and again in my work: “So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains and we never even know we have the key.” I became a therapist over a decade ago because I firmly believe that with the right blend of support and challenge, almost anyone can change unworkable patterns in his or her life.

We all know that therapy is about changing, but changing 'what' is the challenge; and those 'whats' usually involve increasing our awareness. If you're willing to look, we can figure it out.

Are you looking to turn insight into action this year? Repeating habits rooted in emotional wounds can be painful and exhausting. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who notice dysfunctional interpersonal patterns showing up in their relationships today. Together, we identify the parts of ourselves (such as perfectionist or self-sabotaging parts) that keep these cycles going and work to gently disrupt patterns rooted in fear and trauma. By increasing awareness of the mechanisms that once helped us survive, we can access our true selves and live more intentionally.

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.
