Anxiety, depression, and relationship troubles can make daily life feel overwhelming, confusing, and isolating, and it makes sense that you would be worn down by it. You might be coping with constant worry, low mood, trouble focusing, sleepless nights, or strain in relationships. There is hope: therapy can help you slow down those cycles and begin to feel steadier. Together we will explore what matters to you, including how past relationships and unconscious patterns shape past relationships, build practical strategies, and reclaim more calm, focus, and connection.

I provide a private and secure environment where it feels safe to share deeply personal thoughts and feelings. This psychotherapy process requires both courage and motivation to change. Individuals and couples will move from where they are to where they want to be. Initial concerns may be about self esteem, work or relationships. However, this effective psychodynamic process identifies hidden patterns and themes that cloud the present and hinder future dreams. Clients describe the process as "empowering" and "life changing", leaving them with increased energy, confidence and creativity for their lives.

Self-exploration with a compassionate, curiously-engaged presence is a powerful experience which results in deep, lasting change. Often times, our experience of the world and ourselves can feel vaguely yet urgently unsatisfying. Sometimes we unconsciously live in a reality which no longer feels like it "fits", but we know therapy is about opening up to see yourself and the world in a new, more boundless way. Confusion is a great step towards new growth, and we can work together to help you experience life more fully. (For efficient scheduling purposes, please email rather than call)

Being a woman today can mean living with a lot of insecurity and anxiety. You want to appear successful and put together, but deep down you are struggling to figure out who you are, cope with the chaos in your life, and work through a difficult past. The pressures of everyday life fill you with constant overwhelm, relationships feel distant and stressful, and your energy reserves have been depleted. You can hold it together and make it through the day, but by the time you get home you are exhausted. Cooking, dinner, socialization, and parenting seem like impossible tasks.

I am currently receiving intensive training and expert supervision in Psychoanalytic therapy.
Do you find yourself acting in ways that you do not want to? Do you struggle with painful emotions, anxiety, or feelings of emptiness? Do you sometimes feel hopeless about the future or even think about dying? Do you find relationships difficult? Do you often feel alone, look down on yourself, or wonder who it is you really are? These, among others, are symptoms I often encounter. They are not comfortable and may feel overwhelming, but they also can be a starting point to a path of self-discovery and growth.

I trained at the Minnesota Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (MPSI), and I bring warmth, insight, and a touch of humor to the process.
Ever wonder why you shut down when you’re anxious? Or why the same emotional patterns keep repeating—no matter how hard you try to change? These aren’t just habits—they’re rooted in earlier life experiences, shaped by relationships, environments, and messages we may not even be aware of. Life tends to echo itself until we pause to understand the “why” behind what we feel and do. Therapy is not about fixing what’s “broken”—it’s about understanding what’s been carried, how it’s shaped you, and how to create space for new ways of living, feeling, and relating. If you're ready to do the deeper work, I’d be honored to work with you.

Psychoanalytic Therapists

Does psychoanalytic therapy work?

Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?

Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?

Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?

Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
