There is, in all of us, incredible potential that is as of yet untapped. The problem is, of course, that most of us hold back for a plethora of reasons. We may have come to believe that there is safety in the shadows or we think that our contribution is not worthy or perhaps there is a deep sadness or brokeness that we dare not even name and so we live behind it. There is, however, a way forward for all of us. Amazingly, the trouble and challenges we face are guides to becoming whole. We just need to begin.

I often use Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
My practice is centered around helping women struggling with anxiety and depression.

I also work with couples experiencing relationship issues.
Clients come to me feeling stuck and overwhelmed-and leave with clarity, emotional steadiness, and a stronger sense of self.

With compassion and acceptance, I would like to help alleviate the distress you may be experiencing at this point in your life. In the safety of my office, we can explore areas in which you may feel stuck or overwhelmed. I have worked extensively with individuals seeking to overcome addictions; who wish to make sense of relationships; who are struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, loss, or sexuality; and who are experiencing major life transitions. By looking at internal dialogue and seeing where thought patterns may be self-defeating, I can help shift these to more optimal, self-nurturing thinking.

I specialize in using an interpersonal psychodynamic perspective to understand your issues and more specific behavioral techniques to help make the changes you want to in your life.
Have you been having a hard time? Are you dealing with sadness, worry, loneliness, stress, loss, or relationship problems? Have questions about your sexuality or gender identity? It is always hard asking for help, and even more so when searching for a stranger to confide in and rely on. I understand the anxiety that goes along with this process for you and will do everything I can to make it as comfortable as possible. I also recognize that everyone's financial situation is different and so fees are set according to your current circumstances.

I am fully trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and find success in mixing DBT skills with a talk therapy/ psychodynamic approach that best fits each client individually.
I believe that everyone deserves a space without judgement to explore who they are, how they got here and where they want to go. My goal as a therapist is to provide support while helping clients figure out what isn’t working for them in their life or relationships and then work as a team to make changes.

My training and experience allow me to use a blended approach of cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and person-centered therapy.
I believe that in order to work on your issues -- regardless of what they are -- you must first feel safe and understood. My treatment approach is first to provide you with a safe environment created through empathic and non-judgmental listening. Change -- even positive change -- is difficult. By understanding my clients' individual strengths and applying effective treatment approaches, change can happen. This is a process that evolves through a working relationship of open communication and trust. Identifying and changing those patterns of behavior is the focus of our work together.

We learn to survive before we come to understand ourselves. The ways we have adapted may have once served us, but over time they often limit the lives we long to live. Therapy offers a chance to meet these protective parts with curiosity and compassion, loosening their hold on us. When we stop fighting ourselves, something unexpected happens. The qualities we long for - connection, creativity, joy and vitality - begin to emerge. Again and again, I've watched people discover that who they truly are was never lost; it was simply hidden beneath the work of surviving.

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.
