Changing your life is an inside job.
You’ve been searching for something different.
Listen, if you’re anything like the people we work with, you’re probably bright, self-aware, and suffering. You’ve been struggling with emotional pain - whether it’s connected to feeling depressed, worried, or concerned about your relationships - for far longer than you would have liked. And despite gratitude lists and self-help apps and talking to your friends, you’re still at an impasse. Isn’t it time to get the help you deserve?

Licensed Clinical Psychologist
My aim is to help my patients better understand their individual life context through learning what a particular symptom is trying to express. I listen very closely and past the surface of suffering so that together we can address the underlying issues and create the conditions for lasting change. My expertise includes life transitions, grief/loss, identity, sexuality, trauma, addiction, depression, and anxiety.
Hi. We’re David and Amynta - And we like helping people.
As two licensed psychologists, best friends, spouses, and business partners, we launched Dynamic Change Psychotherapy in the spring of 2021. We offer remote psychotherapy services throughout California and in-person sessions in San Francisco and Oakland.

Licensed Clinical PsychologistI believe kindness, compassion, and a sense of humor are like oxygen in an inhospitable world. My clinical focus includes a psychodynamic approach, while incorporating tools from ACT, CBT, DBT, and MBSR. I often help people with problems related to life transitions, grief/loss, identity, perfectionism, procrastination, trauma, chronic pain, substance use/recovery, depression, and different types of anxiety (general worry, social, panic).
Welcome to Dynamic Change Psychotherapy: Talk therapy for thoughtful humans.
The open secret about psychotherapy is that talking helps. Unsurprising, but true. Talking about our experience helps us to understand ourselves, consider possibilities, and take constructive steps forward in ways that really matter. Dynamic Change Psychotherapy was founded on the principles of psychodynamic psychotherapy, and we believe that while your past shapes the present, you are the one who choses your destiny. Instead of getting stuck in old habits, stagnant symptoms, and endless worries, psychotherapy makes it possible to write your own story and live it each day. We help people grow and change - not into some new “better” person, but to become more fully themselves.
Help for how you hurt.
