Pittsfield, MA 01201  (Online Only)
I am oriented toward somatic and attachment based interventions and I am currently training in AEDP therapy.
Life in our modern world can feel both overwhelming and isolating. It takes a lot to simply survive; working, raising a family, navigating relationships of all kinds, and expectations of instant communication with others. As we go through the motions of daily life, we can become disconnected from our-selves; the part of self that feels excited about life, that dreams, and feels wonder. When we are disconnected from ourselves, it is difficult to be connected to others in a way that feels fulfilling. This feeling of separateness can exacerbate symptoms of anxiety and depression.

I have specialized training in AEDP ( Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples).
For over 25 years I have helped adults, couples, teens and children find ways to manage anxiety, depression and trauma in order to achieve an increased capacity for enjoyment in relationships and life. I strive to create a safe environment, where taking risks to connect with emotions leads to increased insight and motivation to change. I take an active approach to help clients achieve their goals and resolve their problems. When treating children, I work closely with parents, providing careful guidance about how to help their child develop and thrive.

I help individuals age 16+ become more deeply in touch with their core emotions and core sense of self. I do this with a model of therapy called AEDP, which guides us moment by moment to how feelings show up in your body as we process experiences from your past and present. Staying attuned to this naturally unfolding somatic process accompanied by a therapist who feels truly safe can bring forth emotions' innate capacities to heal. AEDP works well for a wide range of issues, including: interpersonal trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and loneliness, among others.

I am a certified practitioner of Somatic Experiencing, and have also trained in AEDP, which invites a deep repair of attachment trauma through the therapeutic relationship.
I offer a compassionate environment in which to heal and transform, beginning with embracing what IS, which allows for a more relaxed, gentle, clear and effective approach to our difficulties. Much of our emotional suffering stems from a disconnection from ourselves and our relationship with life. The work I offer facilitates a deep, authentic connection with oneself through somatic, experiential and psychodynamic work, self-inquiry, mindfulness and the support of the therapeutic relationship. Essentially I see that each person I work with has the full potential for healing already on board. We work to uncover and access that, so that full aliveness is restored.

My work incorporates psychodynamic and trauma-informed practices, including AEDP, IFS, and mindfulness.
As a therapist, I work to understand how each person’s particular struggles and stuckness come about. Our struggles, as well as our stories, emotions, and values, have a lot to teach us. I believe that everyone knows something important about what they need to heal, and we can access the strongest, most creative parts of ourselves through authentic and safe relationships. I support individuals in addressing the impact of trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and psychosis. I often work with folks navigating intersections of attachment experience and queer, trans, or neurodivergent identities.

My approach to therapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, places a premium on establishing a safe, supportive and compassionate relationship that brings out the best in each client.
Hello and welcome! Do you feel stuck - maybe in a difficult relationship with someone important or in a complicated relationship with yourself? Does it seem as if you will never become unstuck? Are anxiety, depression, self-defeating behavior or relationship issues standing between you and your happiness or personal goals? My aim is to help you begin healing as quickly as possible, even when the issues are long-standing. Together, we will explore the present and seek out transformational processes, rather than focus on the past or simply relive old wounds as a more traditional approach might.

We all need a little help sometimes. I treat couples and individuals who are struggling and want to feel better. For my couples, my work is to move you out of the negative cycles and into places where you can trust each other again. Guided by attachment styles, we use this to help identify how the negative cycles get entrenched. For my individuals, we use attachment to lean into, understand and heal depression, anxiety and trauma.

I specialize in working with people feeling challenged by relationships, work, parenting (from pregnancy through empty nest), and aging, as well as people struggling with trauma, grief, and loss. I start from the position that past experiences and attachments have profound effects on our everyday lives, and our abilities to move forward. I have an interest in working with those who navigate multiple cultures and communities (through, for example, racial identity, class background, immigration, religion, gender, and sexuality), as well as those who work in education, healthcare, nonprofit, and creative fields.

I work with individuals to strengthen their sense of choice and meaning in their lives. I believe we can emerge more whole when we get curious about the parts of us that seem inglorious. I do not believe in oversimplifying the human condition into "good" or "bad" because there is more truth in the spectrum. I want therapy to be accessible, helpful and grounded in the reality that we live our day-to-day lives outside the therapy office. Good therapy extends beyond one hour a week; good therapy informs how we relate to, engage with and move through the real world.

Does it feel like nothing truly works to ease your anxiety? On the surface, you're a person who has it all together, but in reality you never actually feel at ease. You're struggling with self-doubt, people-pleasing and you put everyone else before yourself. Maybe there are things that happened to in the past that you've minimized for years because "others had it worse." You’re ready to drop the struggle of needing to do everything "right." You’re ready to stop needing to always be the one to handle the messes and instead be the one who gets the support. Most of all, you’re ready to finally feel okay with saying you need help.

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.
