When we feel heard, seen, and understood, healing and growth are possible. I am here to create a safe space for you, or you and your partner, to explore and work with the struggles that are leading you to seek therapy.

After some time, old patterns take hold and we can find ourselves feeling disconnected, confused, or insecure in relationship. Therapy can help you get unstuck by offering an experience of being supported in ways that are uniquely tailored to help the growth of you and your partner.

Sometimes life events and experiences interfere with our ability to make sense of the world and find our place in it. We may lose our sense of safety and control and become flooded with overwhelming thoughts and emotions. Whether you’re feeling isolated, lonely, frustrated, fearful or confused, it is possible to emerge courageous and hopeful.

Many of my clients grew up without the emotional support they needed, learning to be strong, capable, and self-reliant at great personal cost. I offer a grounded, emotionally present style that combines AEDP, attachment repair, and somatic awareness. Together we uncover the parts of you that were never met, so genuine relief and deeper self-connection can finally emerge.

As a psychotherapist and former collegiate athletic coach I am trained in clinical social work as well as in exercise physiology. I understand how the mind, body and emotions are interconnected. When we are physically attuned, we are able to access deeper parts of ourselves. These deeper parts may be limiting due to old beliefs, negative behavior patterns, confusing emotions, and often times a combination of all three. Also, I bring to my clinical practice over 28 years experience in fitness and coaching team sports. Together we can work to set and achieve clear, obtainable life goals.

Your intimate relationship can be one of the most important sources of joy, satisfaction and fulfillment in your life. However, issues may arise which upset that original harmony, and if left unaddressed, lead to a negative pattern of quarreling, difficult communication, and a loss of connection, trust and intimacy. In some cases, this negative spiral can further lead to depression, substance/behavioral addictions, or even an affair. I can provide you with the effective tools for identifying, addressing and resolving those challenging issues, and help you co-create a renewed sense of connection, intimacy and sacred partnership.

If you have arrived here, likely your habitual tools that once served you are no longer working. Or perhaps they never were, and you can no longer ignore this reality. You may feel lost, hopeless, helpless, or a combination of challenging emotions. I am here to tell you that you will not feel this way forever. Through an attachment-based, IFS, and trauma-informed lens, I will assist you in addressing the root causes of your suffering. No band-aids here; I believe the only way to live free of trauma, negative self-talk, poor self-esteem, depression, anxiety, or addiction is to face the origin story head-on.

Everyone has the capacity to heal no matter how profoundly wounded they are. Each individual's path to healing will be unique and for the best chance of long term recovery a person needs to find a healthy balance within their body, mind and spirit. It is my intention to help each client find the unique treatment team to help them achieve this balance.
Additionally, I am experienced in affective, eating and personality disorders, substance abuse and trauma.
I also understand how each of these interact with one another and can cause even more distress within each person.

Therapy should feel like a place where you can show up as yourself, especially when life feels overwhelming or unclear. I work with adolescents and adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their direction in life. A lot of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally dealing with anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on understanding what’s going on, noticing patterns, and figuring out what actually helps you feel more grounded and like yourself again.

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.
