Symptoms aren't problems to just be eliminated - they hold hidden messages to be discovered and understood. I consider mental health problems to come from deep parts of the self that have been ignored, hidden, or misunderstood, but are striving to be seen and known. I offer a safe and empathic space to explore and make meaning of your difficulties in ways that can transform symptoms, untangle problematic patterns, and open up new possibilities for healing, growth, and change.
I specialize in treating complex mental health problems and emotional difficulties through intensive psychodynamic therapy. Research shows psychodynamic psychotherapy tends to produce better long term outcomes than other forms of therapy or medication alone. I have extensive training in treating the most challenging psychological problems and struggles.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is the oldest and most developed form of therapy. It began as Psychoanalysis, created by Freud in the 1890's, and has been enriched through scholarship over the last 120 years. I have experience and familiarity with other therapy approaches as well, so we can find a way of working together that best meets your needs.
