AEDP Therapists in Middletown, RI

In over a decade of practicing, I've discovered the effectiveness of therapy lies in providing individuals with the necessary time and secure environment to delve into their inner workings and interpersonal connections. Studies indicate that by addressing early attachment wounds, we can reshape detrimental self-perceptions and emotions. Perhaps you're caught in cycles of behavior that evoke feelings of inadequacy or guilt. Maybe you feel stagnant, unheard, or struggle to express your needs. Here, you'll find a supportive, inclusive setting where you can connect, feel truly seen, and explore without judgment.

Currently accepting individuals only for daytime teletherapy appointments. Connection is everything, isn’t it? For better or for worse, we shape and are shaped by the people in our lives.

Whether you have challenges in a current relationship – a parent, kid, partner, friend, or yourself – or if you’re struggling to make sense of hurtful relationships from your past, let’s help you get to the bottom of what is holding you back.

As a Board Certified Couple and Family Psychologist, I work with couples to navigate the minefields of intimacy to develop safe, secure and loving relationships.

I work within a psychotherapy model that is called AEDP. AEDP is an approach to healing that starts with the premise that all symptoms are creative adaptations to painful or traumatic circumstances. We recognize the resilience underlying symptoms, as opposed to viewing symptoms as a pathological. AEDP is grounded in affective neuroscience and in psychotherapy research.

Therapy can make an enormous difference in people's lives. I've seen it again and again. And if you're considering therapy -- alone or with your partner -- you've probably reached a point where you realize that things need to change. Getting that change started is a big step. And finding the right person makes all the difference. I'll want first and foremost to understand the situation you're in, and to get a sense of how you see things. I'll want to understand what you've been experiencing, and what sorts of changes you'd like to see.
