My core training is in psychoanalytic psychotherapy with additional training and experience in a wide range of modalities including trauma ( EMDR, Somatic Experiencing), hypnotherapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
I believe we all have healing to do and my therapeutic approach seeks to normalize the process of turning pain into purpose. I remain optimistic that the hard work of finding truth and reconciliation in one’s own life is the most meaningful thing we can devote ourselves to.
I am focused on finding answers to the question of what is most therapeutic for my patients. How can they understand themselves better, feel a greater sense of efficacy in the world, and build a stronger sense of self? And, when that sense of self has become obscured, how can it be clarified and reclaimed? These are the central questions grounding my work.

I am also a trained attachment-based EMDR therapist, a powerful modality to process trauma when words don't seem to cut it.
I start with listening and seek to cultivate a perspective that enlivens, enlightens and unburdens. I use an integrative psychoanalytic approach founded in curiosity and collaboration to address problems relating to trauma, depression, anxiety or self-esteem that can undermine ones ability to thrive interpersonally, creatively, sexually or professionally. Whether it's a life-change, a search for meaning, creative blocks, frustration with the quality of relationships or something else, I will meet you there. Through listening and talking, we will explore internal experience and how it impacts relating to oneself and others.

Fear grabs a hold and won’t let go. Your chest tightens, making it hard to breathe. Triggers are everywhere. At any moment a memory can flash into your mind, consuming your attention and flooding you with terror. Certain sounds bring you back to that moment when time stood still. You can’t forget it. That fear locks you in. It prevents you from doing the things you used to enjoy. It stops you from achieving your goals and dreams in life. You’ve considered or tried traditional therapy, but don’t have the patience to wait weeks or months to make progress.

I believe that each of us has the potential to experience wholeness. Many of us, early on, were forced to exile parts of ourselves, leaving us feeling constricted, fragmented, less than whole. One element of my work is helping people reclaim these lost aspects of self. Using an experiential psychodynamic approach I help people to deal with problematic issues from their current lives as well as to process difficult experiences from their past.

I’m openly queer, EMDR-trained, and love using humor (yes, we can laugh while we heal!).
If you want a therapist who brings personality, won’t bs you, and makes you laugh - Hi, I’m Deanna! Just a down-to-earth therapist who keeps things real & makes sessions feel human (and sometimes even fun!).
Want to untangle all the messy thoughts in your brain so you can like… actually breathe again? Do you spiral over every “what if,” feel stuck in patterns that stem from the past, or feel like you’re losing your mind trying to figure out who you are & where you’re going? If you want to make sense of it all without judgment, basic "talk therapy," or silent nods behind a clipboard... you've come to the right place!

People often reach out with a range of concerns, including trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, addiction, eating disorders, career concerns, and the challenges of navigating life transitions. Whatever the specific issue, clients often share a common goal: to gain a deeper understanding of the issues they’re struggling with, to challenge and replace patterns of thought and behavior that are not serving them, and to learn helpful coping skills to manage stressors in healthy and productive ways. Ultimately, my clients frequently aspire to cultivate a life of fulfillment, authenticity, and peace.

I utilize EMDR, insight oriented therapy, teach basic coping skills and use other methods to alleviate symptoms.
Every client is the expert on their own life and it's my job to find them the right tools. In my practice the most important task I undertake is empowering my clients. Work, relationships, mental health issues and life in general are extremely difficult to cope with and above all, people need to hear that their feelings about these areas are real. After all, this is what guides people to what's most important in life. In order to do this I provide a trusting, non-judgmental, and empathetic therapeutic relationship.
