My ideal client may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, trauma, or relationship stress. They may be survivors of emotional or physical abuse, navigating life transitions, or struggling to balance caregiving, parenting, or school pressures. They want relief, clarity and connection—and to feel seen, safe, and supported. Whether they’re seeking healing, better communication, emotional growth, or simply a place to process life, they’re ready to take steps forward. They may not know exactly how to begin, but they’re willing to try—and they’re looking for a therapist who truly understands and walks with them, not just talks at them.

After twenty years of practice, I continue to find that people are best served by a counselor who is emotionally and psychologically available to them in a time of need. I have enjoyed strong effectiveness working with depression, relationship conflict, grief, and anger management. I work with couples, older adults, teens, and children. These experiences have inspired me to incorporate multiple approaches that fit the personalities, interests and needs that people bring to my practice.

“If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive” -Brené Brown. Thank you so much for visiting my site.

I use a relational, developmentally informed approach grounded in psychodynamic and person-centered therapy.
Do you feel stuck in anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional patterns that seem bigger than the present moment? Or is your child struggling with intense reactions, shutdowns, or behaviors that don’t fully make sense? Often, early experiences and relational wounds shape how we cope long after the moment has passed. When big feelings start affecting our daily life and relationships, it can feel exhausting and isolating. Whether I’m working with a child, a teen, or a young adult, my goal is the same: to create a safe, supportive space where big feelings are welcomed. Together we work toward deeper healing, not just temporary relief.

I help adults heal from childhood trauma using psychodynamic theory, mindfulness and somatic approaches so they can get "unstuck" from the past and move forward.
The struggle is real. Life is challenging, and at times, overwhelming. Perhaps you would like relief from symptoms of anxiety, confusion, or depression. Perhaps you are looking for greater understanding and insight into your relationship patterns. Or, are you coping with life transitions, such as the challenges of aging or grey divorce? As a therapist with a mindfulness perspective, I provide a gentle, caring, and accepting environment for thoughtful discussion and a deeper understanding of the self, addressing issues of concern within a broader context.

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.
