I use an interactive therapy where we work together to identify the way you experience psychological, emotional or behavioral problems. We seek to allow previously avoided feelings to come to the surface to be worked through and processed. This in-the-moment process replaces painful emotional suffering with healthy emotional connection and expression.

Experiential Dynamic Therapy is a powerful and accelerated form of treatment that brings attention to automatic defenses, anxiety and emotions in the here-and-now of the therapy room. We work towards healthy emotional regulation. Many clients describe the intense and focused therapeutic work as extremely powerful and liberating.
