Therapy that is interested in the why.
Psychodynamic therapy does not ask how to manage your symptoms. It asks what your symptoms are trying to tell you.
If you are looking for a psychodynamic therapist in Seattle, you are probably looking for a therapist interested in depth. Who takes the unconscious seriously. Who is willing to sit with complexity rather than rushing toward solutions.
What psychodynamic therapy is
Psychodynamic therapy is rooted in the understanding that much of what drives us lives below conscious awareness. The patterns that keep repeating, the feelings that arrive without explanation, the way your body responds before your mind catches up. These are not noise. They are signal.
How I practice
My work is shaped by the relational psychoanalytic tradition, particularly Winnicott on holding, Fairbairn on internal objects, and contemporary relational analysts like Jessica Benjamin. I also practice from a liberatory, intersectional feminist lens.
I am not a blank screen. I am a participant in the work. What happens between us is not separate from the healing. It is the healing.
Who this is for
People whose suffering does not fit neatly into a box. Who have tried shorter approaches and found that something underneath did not shift. Who are interested in meaning, not just symptom management.
Sessions are $175, Fridays, 8 AM to 4 PM. In-person in Seattle and telehealth throughout Washington.
If something here is resonating, I would welcome a conversation.
