My work is influenced by experiential modalities such as Hakomi, Gestalt, Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and AEDP, an integrative, attachment-focused orientation that is dynamic and relational in nature.
Do you want to experience life with less burdensome patterns getting in the way, meet challenges with less anxiety, and heal from limiting self-criticism and shame? I will help you meet all of the parts of yourself with reverence and compassion as we tend to the wounds that are ready for healing.

I work with clients who, despite their best efforts, seem to keep running up against a wall. Whether it's due to past childhood traumatic experiences, current work or relationship stressors or no known reason, I would love to support you. I especially enjoy working with couples as they navigate stuck patterns of disconnection. For individuals my primary focus is usually with anxiety and parenting. Clients who come to me often want a clearer understanding of their emotional experiences and relationship patterns. A main goal my clients are looking to achieve include a deeper and stronger relationship with themselves and others.

I am a level 3 AEDP therapist and am currently assisting- therapists in training- through the AEDP Institute.
Experiences of trauma, neglect, and abandonment leave us feeling alone, separate from ourselves and others, and navigating states of shame and aloness that are unbearable. As a result we see exacerbated symptoms of anxiety and depression or "pathology". These painful experiences limit access to who we really are, core self. Together, we work to address and heal trauma and pathology, not to change something about you, rather to nurture back to life our best selves from the broken places.

Shame, anxiety, overwhelming stress and relationship difficulties can disrupt our ability to live a mindful and conscious life. Working with adults and adolescents to promote acceptance, empathy and compassion is my primary interest and the approach I take in therapy. I also have experience and a passion for working with clients who are struggling with Eating Disorders and body image issues. I feel that the energy between therapist and client is the first step in healing emotional wounds and promoting positive changes.

Finding a therapist can be a challenge on its own, let alone finding one with whom you feel comfortable enough to share the intimate details of your life. It takes courage to ask for help and embark on a path of personal growth. If you’re reading this you’ve passed a threshold and are ready to put in the work of examining the parts of yourself, and your life, that you’d like to change. The next step is to find out if the therapist you’ve chosen is the right fit.

My clients often find themselves caught in negative communication patterns, struggling with recent emotional injuries or a perceived breach of trust in their relationship. Despite being smart, capable and emotionally intelligent, they find themselves trapped in communication patterns that leave them feeling unheard and frustrated. They struggle to break free from these cycles that leave them feeling demoralized and long for a deeper, more fulfilling connection with their partner.

Therapy is all about growing, healing, changing or discarding something that's no longer serving your highest good. Through this process, my clients often develop a new clarity and meaning about their life, and its context. I don't believe our struggles define us; they just make us human. And through our humanity, we can find compassion for ourselves and others.

We want to be seen. We want to be heard. And most importantly we want to be loved and accepted. This is universal. However sometimes we lose our way; experience failure, depression, rejection, trauma, addiction, grief, anxiety, relationship difficulties...myriad things can keep us from our own personal success and my goal is to help my clients identity these barriers, embrace them, and work through them. The life we want is often within reach, but without healing, clarity or self-love can feel galaxies away. Let’s work collaboratively to identify what is getting in your way and what to do to build the life you want for yourself.

There are literally hundreds of therapy approaches. And yet, effective treatment always involves the same truth: No matter what kind it is, in order to get anywhere, you have to really experience it, not just talk about it.

I'm Carly, and I'm delighted to connect with you here. I specialize in working with clients who are highly insightful and often know what they “should” be doing, but find themselves stuck in the same unhelpful patterns. This dissonance between the “should” and the reality can create so much frustration and shame. This happens when we’re focused on “neck-up” cognitive growth, and we neglect “neck-down” experiential change. We need our nervous systems caught up to what our minds know, and the only way that happens is through new experiences. We can create those together.

AEDP Therapists
Who is AEDP therapy for?
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is for adults who have experienced emotional pain in the past that, because it has not been adequately addressed and processed, interferes with current functioning. The problems might manifest in a number of different ways, from excessive anger to relationship difficulties to PTSD to eating disorders, poor self-esteem, and depression. They may also be accompanied by physiological symptoms. AEDP helps people accept and digest challenging emotional experiences.
Why do people need AEDP?
People need AEDP as a way to manage distressing emotions—including anger, shame, and guilt—that in some way hamper the ability to function and form satisfying relationships in the present. The therapist-client relationship is believed to provide corrective emotional and relational experiences that facilitate positive changes in brain function, forge pathways for processing traumatic experiences, and allow resolution of emotional pain.
What happens in AEDP therapy?
Once individuals have established a strong bond with the AEDP therapist and the therapist has established a safe and secure environment, clients are encouraged to explore their most painful emotional experiences. They may be asked to pay attention to disquieting body sensations as well as to psychological discomfort. Individuals learn how to process emotions, rather than avoid them. Through the strength of the therapist-client bond, each session is intended to provide a powerful positive experience for individuals, enabling growth.
What problems does AEDP treat?
AEDP is intended to treat the unprocessed emotional pain caused by earlier distressing experiences, which commonly includes behavioral avoidance of current situations and experiences for fear that they will reactivate painful feelings. Emotional pain and avoidant behavior play a role in a wide array of mental health conditions, which is why AEDP is applied to the treatment of a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and eating disorders.
