Throughout a lifetime, we are reminded of our own mortality by a continuous journey fraught with hurdles and complications that cause not only physical, but emotional pain as well. Often, along with that journey, we discover the desired destination is full of stressors that inhibit our strive, accomplishments, and ultimately, our very joy and sense of fulfillment.

I offer psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis, where we will focus our work on what you find to be most important, and we will move at your pace.
The secret to a satisfying life is found in the experience of loving relationships and gratifying work. Sometimes, life's challenges interfere with our relationships and careers, and prevent us from experiencing the joy that life can offer. The challenges that led you to this page - depression, anxiety, addictions, grief and loss, career dissatisfaction - may be affecting your work or relationships. You want to advance in your career, feel more connected to your partner or family, or move beyond the hurts of the past, but something feels like it is always in the way, no matter how hard you've tried.

Licensed in both PA and NJ, I specialize in working with clients who identify as self-aware, and often highly intelligent, but somehow still find themselves repeating the same patterns over and over again. You feel like you understand "why" you are the way you are but can't seem to get unstuck. I find that there are often unconscious negative beliefs that we hold about ourselves that are unintentionally holding us back. I use a combination of parts work, attachment-based therapy, and trauma-based therapy to support clients in getting unstuck and reaching their goals.

I give children a safe place in which they can effectively express their feelings. Boundaries are extremely important in this process.

I work collaterally with families to help address a child's needs, without violating the trust or the boundaries we have established.

Using play, talk and family therapy, we work together to understand the unmet needs underlying symptoms and figure out ways to address these needs via channeling the natural human instincts for growth and discovery.

As a Jungian analyst, my approach focuses on one's unlived life as expressed continually through dreams, fantasies and other symbolic material. By actively engaging this material and understanding its symbolic message, as well as demonstrating its relevance for life lived now, suffering can be dramatically alleviated and a more meaningful, more balanced, and spiritually satisfying life becomes possible. Many consult me specifically for my Jungian orientation but many come also who are not familiar with this approach but who are referred for psychotherapy and profit from it because of its focus on healing and transformation.

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.
