Frequently Asked Questions

Psychodynamic psychotherapy assumes that we get a blueprint about the world based on our experiences, especially when we’re young. This, combined with our inherent personality, contributes to our attachment style, our experience of emotions, and our relationship to ourselves. Through experiencing a trusting and consistent relationship with a therapist, we’re able to correct these attachment concerns, learn about ourselves, and expand our tolerance for different feelings. By getting to the real roots of the problem, we can make lasting change.
My work is heavily informed by Attachment Theory and Interpersonal Neurobiology. This deepens my attunement to clients’ relational patterns, fostering lasting change through corrective emotional experiences while promoting insight into how one’s symptoms came to be.
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is empirically supported. Check out this article by Jonathan Shedler, PhD on the long-term efficacy of psychodynamic therapy.

Perinatal therapy is tailored to the unique emotional landscape of pregnancy and early parenthood. While psychodynamic therapy explores patterns and unconscious processes more broadly, perinatal work focuses on the specific feelings, fears, and joys that arise as you become a parent. Connection, safety, and understanding are central, providing a space to process the profound personal transformation that comes with having a baby. Through empathy and reflection, we can explore and reframe your experiences—whether that means navigating anxiety, depression, isolation, shifting family dynamics, or the complex mix of excitement and uncertainty that accompanies parenthood.
Perinatal therapy is often geared towards cis-women. I welcome parents of all genders in my perinatal therapy practice.

I am practicing exclusively via telehealth (secure, online video sessions) at this time.
Many clients find that telehealth works beautifully for long-term, weekly psychodynamic therapy — it allows our work to stay consistent and meaningful over time, while offering the comfort and convenience of meeting from your own space.
Telehealth also increases access and flexibility — making it easier to sustain our work through life changes like moves, new jobs, or growing families — so that therapy can remain a steady and supportive part of your life.

After a phone or email consultation, I will email you a link with some brief paperwork. I’ll be getting to know you and your concerns in the first few sessions. I offer weekly, 55-minute sessions, as I find the consistency of weekly meetings is essential for deeper work.
In our time together, our conversations are often open and unstructured. We can begin with whatever is on your mind. We start there - exactly wherever you need to be. I believe we will find the narrative together. I strive to offer a grounded space where you feel seen and safe, while simultaneously offering attuned and concrete feedback to help you make meaningful change.
When you’re ready to end therapy or switch up our cadence, let’s talk! Sometimes, clients are in therapy for only a few months, while others may stay for years, even once the initial concern has resolved. This can vary widely based on each individual.
