I practice an integrative approach that draws on trauma-focused therapy, Internal Family Systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy, somatic, and psychodynamic principles.
Healing is neither linear nor neat, and many truths can co-exist: you can become someone new while still mourning who you were; engage in inner work and continue to be triggered; make mistakes and still practice self-forgiveness; and make progress yet still have difficult days. Healing is not about becoming more palatable, acceptable, or loveable; it is about growing in the ways you were always meant to. The parts of you that feel most misunderstood are the ones I’m most honored to hold. I provide a safe space that welcomes you to feel hurt, angry, sad, confused- whatever serves you- to feel seen.

More than anything, I am here for the parents who worry. Few things in life are more painful than watching our children, the ones we have loved so tenderly, struggle to be accepted, to get back on track, to wrestle with their self esteem, with loneliness, fear, or even hopelessness. If you feel you are stuck watching a situation play out that you can't bear but can’t seem to change, help is here. Whether you are a new parent, in the thick of too many drop offs and pick ups, or preparing to send your child out into the wide wide world, now is the right time for positive change.

You’re not stuck – You might just need a different way through.
Healing doesn’t only happen through talking—it happens through the body, too. Trauma, stress, and emotional pain often live in the nervous system, which is why I integrate movement and body awareness into sessions when it feels helpful.
This might look like noticing physical sensations, incorporating gentle movement, learning how to regulate your body in moments of overwhelm, or simply taking a short walk to help ground you in the moment. These approaches can open new ways of accessing and processing experiences that words alone sometimes cannot reach.

In the first session(s), I use a psychodynamic approach and then integrate modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered (PCT) based on your learning style, symptoms and goals, among others.
Who’s life are you living anyway; the one you chose, or the one you were told to follow?
So many people, especially men, push through life on autopilot, meeting expectations, checking boxes, and wondering why they still aren’t happy or why it still doesn’t feel right. You might be doing your best, yet still feel stuck, disconnected, ignored, or overwhelmed. You’re tired of not being seen, heard, or validated. The truth is, real strength comes from pausing long enough to ask yourself the hard questions—and giving yourself permission to heal and grow in your own direction, without judgment.

I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy, a depth-oriented approach that gets to the roots of your issues.
You feel stuck in emotional patterns that don’t make sense. A level of anxiety lingers. Relationship dynamics repeat themselves. A critical voice inside won’t quiet. You so often feel overwhelmed or disconnected.
You’ve tried to be mindful about how you cope. You’ve read and reflected and worked hard to manage your reactions. But still, something deeper still feels unresolved.
These experiences aren’t random. They're the result of emotional patterns that developed earlier in life — ways you learned protect yourself that now no longer serve you. Therapy can help you understand those patterns, making them less automatic.

With a background of study in psychology and psychodynamic theory, I chose Gestalt Therapy as the focus for my post-graduate training.
You have my attention. I provide a warm and accepting space in which to learn, heal, experience and discover. Together, we will identify barriers to accessing your fullness, develop awareness of their form and function, and apply our natural creativity to finding and problem-solving new, satisfying ways of living. I seek to engage the total intelligence of your being, encouraging your thoughts, feelings, sensations, and intuitions to be resources rather than enemies. My relational therapeutic approach is hinged on the value of the here-and-now as the time-and-place to be.

Modern life is stressful. We often feel like we don't have enough time, enough money, enough energy, or enough confidence in ourselves. We spend too much time feeling anxious or depleted. There is an alternative to the constant, unrelenting treadmill and chaos. There is another way of being present in your life and available to those you love. I practice Mindfulness-Based Psychology and Mindful Self-Compassion. By learning these skills, you can begin to slow down, befriend yourself, and make choices that reflect and further your values and dreams, rather than those imposed on you.

I believe we desire and deserve to live lives full of connection, purpose, fulfillment and love. This means feeling worthy from within and engaging in healthy, supportive relationships. Our self-doubt, critical voice, feeling not good enough and unhealthy relationships all get in the way of achieving this. I feel many of our current struggles are rooted in childhood stemming from our early attachments and the roles we have fallen into. To heal from within involves not only becoming aware of our unconscious attachment patterns but also courageously facing underlying emotions uncovered via the safe, vital therapeutic relationship.

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.
