Society likes to pretend that parenting is always rewarding and that attachment happens without effort. But as parents, we know how hard it can be. Being a child isn't easy either, and young children won't tell us they are struggling. They will show us with behaviors, such as disturbances in eating, sleeping, and toileting, and within their relationships with others. I work with children 0-9 and their caregivers to resolve attachment issues, trauma (big or small), mood disorders, and behavior challenges. I also enjoy helping adults with attachment concerns, transitions and adjustments, postpartum issues, or parenting stresses.

I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people become their best selves. I use a client-centered, strengths-based approach as well as Cognitive Behavior Therapy. Together we will explore your strengths; the ones you know and the ones you haven't discovered yet. We will harness those strengths to work through past trauma or other difficulties and overcome present challenges to create your best self. As a board-certified registered art therapist, I believe that understanding and healing can often be found outside of words.

Everyone has problems to solve. It could be a relationship, job, death, identity. It could be more evasive, a sense that something is wrong, a feeling of dread, lack of creativity, or finding meaning. While problems may seem concrete, the solutions are often elusive. Psychotherapy is a chance to stand in the spaces, to delve into your mind, complexities, and sufferings with someone in your corner, a therapist, a compassionate helper, who makes the struggle more bearable. It takes dedication and grit, but is very rewarding.

You don't have to be "crazy" to seek counseling. Some people are just stuck and need some help getting back on track. Others are at a point in life they're not sure what to do next, so they come to figure that out. Some people have relationship problems in the family or at work, and want help to work through it. Some have emotional problems, or are haunted by past events and want to break free of them. Still others are wanting to grow and develop a clearer sense of purpose, or gain a stronger sense of spirituality.

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.
