I work with children, teens, and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, past experiences that continue to impact them, life transitions, or challenges in relationships. They often come to therapy feeling like they’ve been carrying a lot on their own and are ready for a space where they can feel supported, understood, and not judged.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LCAC
Serves Area
I use psychodynamic therapy, CBT, attachment-focused work, and emotionally focused approaches to help clients understand deeper patterns while building healthier ways of coping, relating, and functioning.
My ideal client is a thoughtful adult who feels emotionally worn down despite working hard to manage life well. They struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or a heavy, persistent sense of discouragement that shows up as tension, self-criticism, and disconnection. Many are navigating relationship strain, betrayal, or major life transitions and feel stuck in their head, unsure how to feel grounded or secure again. They want clarity, emotional steadiness, and meaningful change not just coping, but relief that lasts.

The counseling process can and should involve exploring goals and needs. It is ok to have an idea of how counseling can help, and it's okay to let me help you explore that topic. Not everyone knows what they want or why. And, sometimes, what we want and need changes. The ideal client is willing to show up and do some exploring.

You may be someone who has been carrying a lot for a long time. Trauma, identity stress, or past relationships may still show up in your body, emotions, or patterns, even when you understand them logically. You might feel disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, while still wanting therapy that feels safe, affirming, and respectful. You’re looking for a space where you don’t have to explain or defend who you are, and where healing doesn’t feel rushed or forced.

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.
