Understanding why we behave the way we do can often be challenging. We all experience moments when our thoughts, emotions, and actions seem difficult to comprehend. In these times, it can be helpful to receive consistent, non-judgmental, and empathetic support to make sense of our inner experiences.

I approach counseling with compassion and curiosity, with the goal of offering space for others to work through difficult emotions and experiences. I encourage those I work with to show the same curiosity and compassion toward themselves as I know this work can be challenging at times, but also exceptionally rewarding.

Psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theories offer a comprehensive understanding of human nature. As opposed to other models that try to solve a particular problem or target symptoms, psychoanalysis gets to the heart of the matter. I provide therapy that addresses the whole person, helping the individual to develop inner capacities that can improve relationships as well as foster a richer, more meaningful life.

Dr. French sees adults and couples, diverse in ethnicity, religious identification, social class, gender, and sexuality. She collaborates with men and women interested in cultivating curiosity about their experience of themselves (mind and body) and desiring deeper felt connections with others.

For many of life’s issues, it is helpful to understand what the underlying origin of the problem is in order to facilitate healing. I use the psychodynamic approach to counseling as a means to assist clients with understanding themselves more deeply.

My aim is to create an environment marked by authenticity and acceptance, where clients feel the freedom, to be honest, come as they are, and explore whatever struggles they may be facing. In the context of a meaningful therapeutic relationship, clients can come to a greater understanding of self, work through relational difficulties, traumatic life events, and ongoing sources of stress.
