Trained in the AEDP model (Level 3) and EMDR, my approach is trauma and attachment informed and integrates body-awareness, emotion-focused, experiential and creative processing to help you transform difficult behavioral and relationship patterns into positive directions, and to reclaim your strengths, resiliency, and confidence in becoming your best self.
At some point in life, perhaps now, a personal, relational, or professional crisis may pressure you toward a crossroad where you'll find yourself in unknown territory and possibly heading in a new direction. Such transitional times often feel unsettling and uncertain, even overwhelming; however, they can also be a turning point. Though difficult and often unwelcomed, this turning point can present a critical opportunity to make a real change, and finally address what you've struggled to resolve on your own, and no longer need to process alone.

Using advanced training in AEDP, I work with you to better understand why you feel this way, and help release difficult emotions- finding emotional relief, connectedness, and wellbeing.
Are you hoping to improve your relationship? Are you worried you may be "too much" for your partner? Maybe you want to be a better partner but don't know how to? I am trained in PACT Therapy (Psychobiological Approach to Couple's Therapy), and Gottman Therapy, two specialized approaches to couples therapy. I have found that integrating these two styles of therapy quickly gives couples insight to the causes of their conflict or disconnection, and tangible ways to fix it. This allows each partner to understand themselves and their partner, improving connectedness and relationship satisfaction and decreasing conflict intensity.

I primarily utilize AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy).
A recent client told me “It's so validating and refreshing to be able to do therapy in a way that actually works for me after spending so many years in cognitive behavioral modalities that did very little for my trauma.” So many clients share the feeling of “undoing aloneness” in our sessions. This undoing of aloneness has helped clients reconcile and unburden themselves of trauma as well as feel thankful for being able to learn how to listen to their heart and their heart’s certainty of their worthiness. Our relationship has helped them to create a healing and grounding relationship with themselves...listening to their hearts.

I am an AEDP and Emotionally-Focused therapist working with individual adults on transforming challenges with mood, relationships and trauma into flourishing. While we will have specific goals for therapy, ultimately my hope is that you feel more alive, authentic, connected, resilient and self-accepting. We start by building a safe and trusting environment within which vulnerabilities, difficult experiences and unhelpful patterns can emerge and new experiments in thinking, feeling and relating can be attempted. This takes courage, and it can feel risky to speak the truth, to embrace disowned feelings, even just to receive support.

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.
