Psychodynamic Therapists in Polk County, FL
I practice psychodynamic therapy, a type of psychotherapy that explores the underlying causes of distressing emotions and behavior patterns.
I received my academic and clinical training at the University of Pittsburgh and its affiliated psychiatric hospital, where I have also worked on staff, and completed additional postgraduate training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I am actively involved in the didactic teaching and supervision of psychiatry trainees. I also teach psychoanalytic candidates.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation skills, acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT) to help you live by your values, psychodynamic therapy to explore past experiences, and psychoeducation to help you understand your symptoms.
The week before your period you may find yourself overwhelmed by emotions, arguing with your partner over small things, or wondering why everything suddenly feels so much harder. Trying to conceive can make life revolve around appointments, timelines, and disappointment. Pregnancy, birth, and becoming a parent can bring excitement alongside fear, grief, guilt, or a loss of identity. These experiences often happen when major hormonal, physical, and life changes collide.

Welcome to the change you have been looking for! The focus of my practice is to help you become the change you want. "My kids don't listen" "I'm depressed", "this is not where I suppose to be in my life", "I'm hurting", confused and I don't know what to do". These are the thoughts, feelings and emotions that run through our heads every day. When things go wrong we look for something or someone to change...we look at the people around us to change, but they don't! The change comes from you!

With a trauma-informed and story-focused posture, I utilize Internal Family Systems, attachment-based models, Psychodynamic interventions, and somatic and mindfulness-based practices.
Hello! You have taken a courageous step by simply exploring therapy options, and my hope is that you continue to receive clarity and empowerment to take the next step. To be human is to experience both immense joy and overwhelming sadness or fear. Sometimes the fear just becomes too much, and we find helpful but harmful ways of coping. My desire is that the therapeutic, safe space invites you to return to hope, to play, and to belonging through relationship. This return will require walking through - not around - the pain and sadness. I would love to come alongside you in this process!

You want more than just feeling better - you want to create a better life for yourself and those you love. The problem is that you're stuck. You've tried everything you can think of, and you still feel bad - spiritually, emotionally, and physically. If anxiety, panic, sadness, lack of motivation, frustration, anger, or confusion weren't standing in your way, can you imagine what you would do next? If you were willing to have that difficult conversation with your loved one without fearing it'll end in a blow-up or shut-down, could life be better?

Do I joke about the word "journey"? Yes. Do I still use it? Yes. You are not behind. You are not “too much.” Healing is not linear (seriously, it’s more like a maze), and giving yourself grace and permission to focus on you is key. I’m an English/Spanish-speaking licensed psychotherapist who helps people figure out who they are underneath all the stress, trauma, and survival mode. I’ve spent the last 5 years helping clients to work through trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, couples therapy, ptsd, anger disorders, and more —basically, a full tour of the emotional landscape.
