Do you view yourself as a high-performer that feels lost or alone? Struggling with relationships, direction in life, or substance use? I specialize in addressing these challenges, along with anxiety, depression, and financial challenges. I also support former athletes navigating identity shifts. I work hard to form a relationship based on the needs of the client, and try to help each other quickly feel comfortable and relate. With this understanding I take a supportive and accepting stance that assist that breeds self-acceptance with my clients.

Your story is unique, your experiences unlike ANY other. The process is to find you as you are, and to journey together to where you want to be. My years of work with traumatized and grief-stricken clients and families have brought the conclusion that anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationships are the barriers to a healthy self, to a meaningful and purposeful life. Determining the causes and our role in these barriers (overwhelming and unduly burdensome at times) will begin to get us unstuck. Circumstances likely have driven you to the point of therapy, but a great opportunity to regain control and find the healthy you.

Life has a way of leading us into patterns that once made sense but now feel unhelpful. Maybe you're navigating relationship difficulties, wrestling with anxiety or depression, feeling disconnected, or standing at a crossroads. Or perhaps you simply sense there's more depth and satisfaction waiting for you. I offer a supportive, genuine therapeutic relationship where we can explore what's keeping you stuck and discover what becomes possible when you move forward. I work with individuals and couples seeking to understand themselves more fully and create relationships—with others and with themselves—that feel authentic and nourishing.

I have worked in private practice as a psychologist for over thirty years. Most of my clients find my “explore-in-the-moment” approach refreshing and transformational. By distinguishing old coping patterns from new experience and encouraging clients to explore rather than explain themselves, personal development naturally unfolds. This approach offers clients the opportunity to explore at the edge of the unknown and beyond the world they know. The unknown is the source of all change and the known is the past.

You are living a daily battle in your head about what you can eat, how much you should exercise, if you are worthy of taking up space. You are consumed by counting calories and by the negative voice inside that tells you, you’ll never be good enough or thin enough, smart enough or pretty enough. You are fed up with how the society/culture tells you how you should look and feel and behave. Your behaviors have you feeling exhausted and depleted and you wonder how you can go on another day. Others may think you have it all together on the outside, but the mental torture inside is killing you and feel like your life is shrinking.

I am primarily trained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist, which means I like to assist clients in identifying the origins of emotional responses for reprocessing.
Relationships are vital to our existence, but sometimes we struggle to connect with ourselves and others in a way that supports our values and sustains the relationships that bring love, success, and connection into our lives. Whether you are struggling to connect with a romantic partner, or you've become so debilitated by anxious, self-defeating thoughts that social interaction feels impossible, I believe you have the power within you to change the way you connect to yourself and others. If sexual, emotional, or other barriers are stopping you from living the life you want, let me help you harness your inner strength.

We all just want to feel comfortable in our own skin. We want to live our lives feeling inspired, happy, and purposeful. Somewhere along the way we may have sought out external things to achieve this goal: drugs, alcohol, relationships, jobs, social circles, money, status, etc. These things work for a little while…until they don’t. We finally get to a place where we realize we need help turning inward. We become willing to examine our trauma and core wounds and heal from what is in the way of us emerging into our fullest selves. This is where transformation begins.

I am a therapist who creates a safe atmosphere for clients to explore their personal histories. In my experience, an individual's struggles are closely linked to the ways in which they process events from their past. I enjoy making space to slow down and explore these areas and create the energy to move forward. Working with me focuses on processing unfelt emotions, learning new skills to navigate problematic thought patterns and finding ways to transform emotional pain into meaning.

I love that you’re considering therapy - it can be such a powerful process. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to have their mental wellness cultivated, and I hope to provide that space for you in our meetings. I have spent the past five years as a therapist supporting a variety of mental health needs. And now, I feel so lucky to work within a collaborative group practice (fun fact - my husband is a therapist there too). But I believe an equally valuable part of my journey to being in mental health has been as a counseling client myself, learning first-hand what it is like for those who sit with me in 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.
