Therapy Services
In-person, in-network therapy in Akron, Ohio for adults and older teens seeking clarity, resilience, and meaningful growth through psychodynamic therapy.
Complex Trauma
Complex trauma often develops over time. You might notice patterns like feeling on edge or shut down, struggling with trust, intense self-criticism, difficulty regulating emotions, or a sense of being stuck in the same reactions despite understanding them intellectually. You may not identify with a single traumatic event, yet still feel its effects in your body, emotions, or relationships.
In our work, we focus on creating safety, clarity, and steadiness. Through a psychodynamic and mindful approach, we explore how these patterns formed and how they continue to influence you today. Over time, many people develop greater resilience, emotional flexibility, and a stronger sense of agency in their lives.
This work is not about reliving the past. It’s about understanding it well enough to move forward with more ease, choice, and self-trust.
Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety and chronic stress can make everyday life feel exhausting. You might feel constantly on edge, caught in loops of overthinking, or aware that your worries don’t fully make sense—but unable to quiet them. For some people, anxiety shows up in the body as tension, restlessness, or difficulty relaxing, even when things are going well.
In our work together, we focus on understanding how your anxiety developed and what keeps it active. Through a mindful, psychodynamic approach, we explore underlying patterns while also building steadier ways to relate to stress as it arises. Over time, many people experience greater clarity, emotional resilience, and a sense of ease—feeling more present, grounded, and able to respond rather than react.
This work helps anxiety loosen its grip, so you can move through life with more calm and confidence.
Life Transitions
Life transitions, whether chosen or unexpected, can quietly unsettle your sense of identity, direction, or stability. Changes such as divorce, illness, career shifts, becoming an empty nester, or moving to a new phase of life can bring uncertainty, grief, or anxiety, even when the change is positive.
Therapy offers a space to pause and make sense of what’s shifting. Together, we explore what you’re leaving behind, what you’re stepping into, and how past experiences shape the way you navigate change. This process supports clarity, resilience, and a steadier sense of self so you can move forward with intention, confidence, and self-trust.
Life transitions don’t have to be rushed or “figured out” all at once. With reflection and care, they can become meaningful turning points.
