Do you wish you had a better understanding of yourself or your child? Are you trying to break generational cycles but not sure how to do it? Do you wish you felt better, but you’re not sure where to start? We all want to feel understood, to know that we belong, and to have a meaningful purpose in life. There can be immense pressure to have it all figured out and fit in. There are so many opinions of what we “should” do and who we “should” be, but what if that isn’t working? The answer is simple — figuring out what works for you, your family, or your child — sometimes getting there isn’t so easy, and we need help.

It's often difficult to reach out for help when you most need it, and it can be hard to speak with someone you've never met about personal issues. On the other hand, it can be easier to do with a person who is a trained, neutral professional. I can be objective and understanding in a way that well-meaning friends and family often cannot. My work with couples, individual adults including seniors, or the younger population, begins in a friendly, professional manner whereby we move towards knowing each other better. A rapport between us is essential in accomplishing our work.

You may feel emotionally unsettled, internally fragmented, or unsure how to make sense of recurring patterns in your relationships, desires, or sense of self. You might be functioning well on the outside while feeling constrained, disconnected, or quietly dissatisfied inside. Many people who seek my work are thoughtful, psychologically curious, and self-aware, yet sense that understanding alone has not brought the integration or ease they are seeking. Therapy may feel like a way to deepen self-experience, develop greater coherence, and live with more clarity, alignment, and emotional continuity.

Reaching out for support takes courage, and my goal is to make that step feel worth it. I work with adults, teens, children, and families who are navigating trauma, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, and the often-tricky process of setting and maintaining boundaries.
My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real conversation, grounded, compassionate, and a chuckle. Together, we’ll explore what’s been getting in the way of feeling steady and help you build tools for emotional balance and connection.

I draw from a psychodynamic lens, parts work, ACT, DBT, and EMDR, tailoring our work to your unique needs.
My ideal clients are adults who are often high-achieving, thoughtful, and self-aware—and who may still feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck despite “doing everything right.” Many of my clients struggle with perfectionism, body image or disordered eating, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or major life transitions. Often, they’re navigating the messy middle between who they’ve been and who they’re becoming. Liminal Space Psychotherapy is grounded in the idea of the liminal: the in-between space where old ways no longer fit and something new is beginning to emerge.

My practice is attachment and trauma focused, with an orientation in humanistic and psychodynamic techniques; I utilize a variety of treatment approaches tailored to the needs and goals of each client.
I hold unconditional positive regard as the key to a great therapeutic relationship. I work to meet people where they are, to actively listen and understand their values, and to explore and support them to better connect with themselves and others. My goal is to help people cultivate loving acceptance of themselves, and gain insight of how the past impacts the present, while creating an awareness that the past doesn't have to dictate their present or future.

I offer a welcoming, compassionate, and non-judgmental space to share your story. Sometimes, problems we face — whether they come with a diagnosis or not — may be overwhelming, debilitating, paralyzing, unhealthy, or destructive to ourselves or our relationships. I work collaboratively to help people deconstruct and free themselves from the grip of problems that may be overwhelming and oppressive and move toward preferred ways of living and thriving.

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.
