​

I treat clients with a wide variety of presenting problems that impact their relationships, functioning, and personal growth. My areas of emphasis include depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD and trauma recovery, workplace stress, life transitions, and creative issues/artist support (I work with many writers, actors, musicians, and other entertainment professionals and performers). 

​​

My primary approach is psychodynamic: our work is a collaborative exploration of how past and present relationships and experiences reflect unconscious patterns that create internal conflicts which in turn may impede us, make it difficult to stop our impulses, or cause emotional suffering. The therapeutic relationship represents a safe and confidential arena in which to gain a deeper understanding of the internal processes that inform us so that we may work through them and make positive changes in our lives. 

​

I also utilize interventions from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other modalities as appropriate to the individual and to the presenting problem. I'm trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an Evidence-Based Practice to treat trauma, and additionally certified in Brainspotting for trauma and for creative/performance issues.

​

The goal of psychodynamic psychotherapy is not only to alleviate symptoms but to help people live healthier lives and to have more meaningful connections with others.
