I love helping people reconnect, or uncover, their life’s passions through exploring past experiences and identifying what brings them joy and purpose. I started Atomic Souls because I know so many people who believe therapy is boring, too clinical, and quite frankly unhelpful. I hope to challenge that narrative about counselors by bringing creativity, fun, and passion into counseling.

My work with all ages involves fostering a safe holding environment that consists of empathy, compassion, and acceptance, where the client is encouraged to bring their genuine selves into the room. I am interested in exploring the impact of early childhood experiences on an individual’s sense of self. While the therapeutic journey can feel overwhelming, I will work towards helping you understand yourself in a deeper way. My process consists of creating a safe space for you to feel your emotions, bring awareness to your reactions, and then facilitate an understanding of how your experiences have influenced you as a person.

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.
