My therapeutic approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that offers individual and family therapy in a small private practice in Houston, TX. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and relationship difficulties. Much of the work I strive to do with clients involves a reflective, curious, and compassionate stance as we explore experiences, strengths, and challenges. By identifying assumptions, expectations, thought patterns, and exploring previous experiences we are better able to make changes that lead to a more balanced and healthy relationship with ourselves as well as others.

I am an experienced trauma therapist: with a psychodynamic, relational, stage based lens through which I help my patients understand that the problems they experience in the here and now, including depression, anxiety, and relationship problems, are often rooted in their overwhelming life experience.
In this time of crisis and fear that the whole world is experiencing, I think that I must first address how any person who comes to me is coping, how she/he is managing safety and fears for her/himself and his/her family. We cannot dissociate what is happening to all of us now because that replicates what may have happened to many of us in some distant past traumatic experience: Not to talk about what happened. My clients often have struggled with similar problems for years, often working hard in therapy, but not fully understanding the link between their struggles and their experiences in the past.

I believe that therapy provides those looking for clarity and support with a remarkable opportunity to consider and express their truths and to see themselves honestly and without judgment. I work with my clients to create a space that cultivates a sense of curiosity and understanding which will not only provide the immediate relief of being fully seen, but which will help my clients open the door to gain insight into who they are and what shifts they would like to make. I utilize a psychodynamic approach that employs the power of insight and understanding of the past to empower my clients to become the person they desire to be.

Whether one seeks relief from anxiety, trauma, relational impasses, or life disillusionment, therapy can help. It is unfortunate that insufficiently engaged approaches to therapy, prohibitive rates, and the unconscionable reluctance of most clinicians to accept insurance fail so many clients, who in good faith seek to discover a healing of heart and mind. As a psychodynamic therapist, I view my role as an empathic change agent employed to help bring about a fuller knowledge of self and a more liberated experience of life and relationship. I also supervise highly promising interns from NWU available for as low as $15-30 per session.

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.
