Seeking therapy can often be a difficult decision and can create anxiety and ambiguity about what the process may entail. As a clinician, I function from the foundation for a positive experience in therapy which first begins with establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Doing so, can encourage positive growth towards goals. Therapy is facilitated with transparency about what to expect from the process and goals are formulated collaboratively. Interventions are recommended based on individual's goals and needs. Effective and open communication is encouraged about therapeutic process and progress on goals.

Life is a developmental process challenging us to become all that we can. It begins in childhood and moves into old age challenging us by the unexpected. It calls upon us to adapt and rethink our ways of being in the world both inside ourselves and in relationships with others. These challenges come in many forms (disappointments in ourselves and relationships, losses, illnesses (emotional and physical), and the unexpected. Psychotherapy provides a space for joint exploration allowing individuals, couples and families to explore these challenges. It offers an opportunity to gain greater understanding and move toward creating a richer and more meaningful life.

Therapy to me is about being seen and supported, not “fixed.” I bring humor, transparency, and humanness into every session, because healing happens in real relationships. I’ve spent nearly a decade helping people move through life like anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and life transitions. I’m also a combat veteran which has shaped both my resilience and my passion for walking alongside others who feel overwhelmed, unseen, or stretched too thin.

I don’t do fluff or expect you to “do therapy right.” If you’re skeptical, resistant, or here because someone else wants you to be, I can work with that. I’m a grounded clinician with experience in crisis response, military/veteran care, and addiction treatment. I primarily work with children, adolescents, young adults, and couples facing anxiety, depression, mood swings, substance use, family conflict, legal issues, and life transitions. I value parental concerns and involvement when appropriate while maintaining a space where clients can be honest, engaged, and invested in their own growth.

Psychoanalytic Therapists
Does psychoanalytic therapy work?
Psychoanalytic therapy derives from the work of Sigmund Freud. In this type of therapy, discovering buried thoughts and emotions from the unconscious will help a person work through their difficulties and negative behaviors. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapy can be highly effective, with patients reporting improvement in mood, quality of life, and overall well-being.

How long are people typically in psychoanalytic therapy?
Traditional psychoanalysis is in-depth and is conducted in five sessions every week. Today, modern psychoanalytic therapy is less intense and normally incorporates as few as one or two sessions a week. In some cases, positive change can occur quickly. However, if the condition, difficulty, or behavior is deep-seated, improvement may require many months or years of therapy.

Is psychoanalytic therapy suitable for young people?
Children and adolescents can benefit from this type of therapy. Many kids and teens are often unable to form and communicate their thoughts and emotions. Psychoanalytic therapy uses specific techniques such as dream analysis, symbolism, and free association or word association; all of which can be useful tools for less-communicative young people. Through this therapy, a patient will hopefully make connections between what they feel inside and how the world works outside.

Can psychoanalytic therapy be done online?
Modern-day psychoanalytic therapy is very different from traditional psychoanalysis. While an individual can sit face-to-face with the psychoanalyst for multiple sessions a week, they do not have to. Today, psychoanalytic therapy can be effectively conducted online or by phone. The key is that the individual confronts what is repressed and avoided, and this can be done whether in person or over online video.
