About

Navigating your unique life story is no simple task. Anxiety, fear, grief, and anger may overwhelm your sense of agency and fulfillment. Certain ways of coping may give temporary relief but leave you feeling stuck and disconnected. You may encounter parts of yourself that make you question who you think you are. Psychodynamic therapy creates a pathway to lasting change and self-discovery through meaningful insight. My approach is to help foster sensitivity to your singular voice as we listen attentively to the patterns and questions that emerge in the telling of your life experience.

I offer an individualized way of working that draws from my background in art history and social work. In session, we attend to the experiences, contexts, and meanings that have shaped your inner world. We explore how you have endured conditions of power and oppression. By centering your desires, we uncover and fortify your creative capacity to transform.

The way I practice is not focused on pathology or diagnoses. It is a collaborative process that uses understanding and acceptance to instill hope. Your search for a therapist affirms that you are already on the path to feeling better. The next step is to reach out and schedule time to meet.

FAQ’s
How long is a session? Are you conducting in person sessions?

The length of psychotherapy session is either 45 minutes or 50 minutes. Please discuss this with your therapist, but both arrangements are acceptable.

We offer both—in-person, and virtual treatment. Please discuss your preference with your therapist.

How often should I see my therapist?

The frequency of work is determined between you and your therapist. However, we do believe a higher frequency has an important effect on the outcome of the treatment. Most of our therapists work with their patients at more than once-a-week frequency in psychotherapy. However, if you are in psychoanalytic treatment, the frequency is at least 4 times (sometimes we offer 3 times) a week.

How long does the therapy last?

Believe it or not, this is by far the most common question we are asked. There is a famous quote from Freud, “Our answer is like the answer given by the Philosopher to the Wayfarer in Aesop's fable. When the Wayfarer asked how long a journey lay ahead, the Philosopher merely answered ‘Walk!’” The duration of treatment depends on the individual circumstances. Therefore, he says, “[T]he question as to the probable duration of a treatment is almost unanswerable.” At TheraBridge we hold true to Freud’s word, “Walk!” We help our patients walk the path and over the bridge towards a future where new memories and new experiences bring happiness and joy.

Is my information confidential?

Yes, your information is kept confidential. In case we need to coordinate care with other medical professionals including your psychiatrist, we will obtain your consent, though the exchange of patient information amongst medical providers is considered HIPAA compliant.

What kind of therapy do you provide?

At TheraBridge, all our clinicians are trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy or psychoanalysis.
