I offer trauma informed cognitive behavioral, relational, and psychodynamic approaches to therapy.
I enjoy working with children and adults at all stages of life, and specialize in adolescence, early adulthood, parents and family work. Perhaps you are a young person struggling to meet the expectations of those around you or to figure out who you are and where you fit in. Maybe you are a parent finding yourself slipping as you navigate the challenges of raising children with complex needs in addition to your own responsibilities. You might be falling into unhealthy habits, losing focus or in acute crisis. I specialize in issues related to depression, anxiety, identity, transitions, trauma, family systems and personality disorders.

I approach every client with concern for immediate difficulties and symptoms, but also believe that one of the central tasks of therapy is to gain self knowledge and understanding. This might include acknowledging emotion, understanding avoidance, and identifying behavioral and relationship patterns. Research studies have demonstrated that focusing on relationships (past and present) increases the likelihood that therapeutic work will be effective.

My practice is client-centered, honest, and empathetic to my client's concerns. Trust is the major factor that enables clients to talk about what is at the heart of their problems, and we spend the time necessary to develop that trust. I view the therapeutic relationship as collaboration with my client on a unique journey towards self-enhancement, wellness, and goal attainment. I want to help empower you to overcome your personal obstacles with a compassionate and respectful approach in a safe place where you can share and build self-awareness as we work together to change.

The decision to enter into a counseling relationship can be a heroic step in your life journey. Perhaps you are having difficulty managing your mood, recently suffered a loss, or are negatively impacted by deeply held beliefs. More specific help may be desired in addressing such things as relationship issues, parenting struggles, life transitions, attaining life goals, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, building meaning in your life, or adoption issues. The counseling services that I offer can provide you with insights into behavior and thought patterns that no longer serve you. Our work together can propel insight into action.

My integrative counseling and somatic psychotherapy practice draws on attachment theory, neuroscience, Somatic Experiencing, mindfulness and psychodynamic theory.
There are times in life when you have come to the limit of the old way of being. This may have been brought about by loss, stress, illness, or a new life stage. You're tired or stuck, grieving or worried. These experiences have likely brought you to the precipice of a new normal (whether you wanted it or not). I have a passion for working with people adjusting to new normals, with such concerns as stress, health challenges, reproductive grief (infertility, miscarriage, infant loss), postpartum concerns, and those struggling with experiences from childhood.

People who work with me tend to go beyond just feeling better after improving whatever initially brings them to therapy, such as: stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment & relationships, thoughts, emotions etc. Overcoming that stuff is really just the beginning of the process of becoming your potential. If you desire freedom and a deepened connection to your Self & others, I can guide you to unlocking the chains you didn't even know were holding you back. You can be in the drivers seat again, not your thoughts, fears, or symptoms.

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.
