Telehealth only - All too often, trauma and hardship rob people of their full capacity to act, feel, think and speak. I believe that helping you find your voice is one of my jobs as a therapist. Finding that voice looks different for everyone and I believe in treating each individual as a whole person, not just as a diagnosis. Even the most surface symptoms are often indicative of much deeper issues, and I strive to provide a safe space for exploring both. I believe that the success of therapy is marked by both achieving more "wholeness," and evolving to become the best version of yourself.

Good grief. I do not envy anyone scrolling through these profiles! Fact is, life is hard and can feel overwhelming. People disappoint us, and truth be known, we disappoint ourselves. It can feel like we are caught up in repeating the same dysfunctional patterns over and over. The good news is, if you’ve noticed this and are sick of it, you might be ready to face your demons more honestly and constructively. I often describe good therapy as being simply a safe place to discover these patterns (while also learning that we have a resistance and a reluctance to be free of them).

Stress, worry, anxiety- It sucks. Like an unwelcome guest that just won't leave. It's paralyzing. You find yourself under pressure to make the right decisions and keep it all together all the time. That voice inside your head keeps nagging, "Why can't I just be 'normal' and stop worrying? Why is everything so hard?" You may carry the mental load of the household or feel like there's no time. On the outside, things may seem perfectly fine, but inside, it's a different story. Life feels like an impossible maze with all this self-doubt, constant worry, and the weight of expectations. You know you're capable, but it feels out of reach.

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.
