Frequently Asked Questions


What can I expect in our first session?

Our first session is a chance for us to get to know one another. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and any questions or concerns you may have. There’s no pressure to share everything at once, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy can be helpful for anyone seeking greater self-understanding, emotional clarity, or support through life’s challenges. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. If you’re feeling stuck, curious about your patterns, or simply looking to grow, therapy may be a meaningful path forward.

What is psychodynamic therapy?

Psychodynamic therapy is based on the idea that our early experiences and unconscious processes shape how we relate to ourselves and others. Together, we explore these patterns with curiosity, working toward deeper insight, emotional healing, and lasting change.

Why psychodynamic therapy?

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is unique among mental health approaches in its requirement that therapists undergo extensive personal analysis, typically at least 300 hours with a senior analyst. Unlike other orientations, this tradition ensures clinicians engage in deep self-reflection, cultivating insight into their own psyche as a foundation for helping others. With a psychodynamic therapist, you can be confident they’ve likely done the inner work themselves.

What issues do you work with?

I work with individuals navigating a range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, identity questions, grief, life transitions, and a general sense of dissatisfaction or disconnection. My approach is particularly suited for those interested in long-term, insight-oriented work.

How often will we meet?

Most find that weekly sessions offer the consistency and momentum needed for meaningful progress. We’ll discuss what feels manageable and supportive for you.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes, I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant teletherapy for those located in Florida. This can provide flexibility and comfort, especially for those with busy schedules or limited access to in-person care.
