Our professional relationship needs to be a collaborative and connecting experience.

Some seek life coaching or a consultation for a specific problem while others are in distress and want major changes.

I practice AEDP, a therapy that helps you notice how you’ve protected yourself from difficult feelings, and process the emotions that have needed room to breathe.
I am a trauma therapist, drawing from attachment theory, emotional biology, neuroscience, and family systems. My training focuses on how trauma takes root in the nervous system and colors our experiences. Whether you are working on processing old wounds, setting boundaries with difficult people, or unpacking why you do the things you do, my aim is to offer you a space where you can explore who you are, what you want, and how you hope to live in a way that feels honest, healing, and liberating.

Emotionally intense personalities, deep thinkers, and busy minds with sensitive hearts are welcome here. You're probably tired of people telling you that you're "too much": too needy, too talkative, too picky, too clingy, or (gulp!) too sensitive! Meanwhile, you're almost constantly feeling not good enough inside: like a fraud, a failure, and falling short of finding the love, the career, the friends, the life you've aimed for. You've possibly wondered if you have chronic depression, anxiety, or adult ADHD. Anxiety, aloneness, existential angst, indecisiveness, and insecurity can leave you in an emotional tailspin.

Currently accepting new clients! Many people know they need a shift but first want a warm, supportive therapist and space to explore the difficult areas of their lives. I'm a great fit for people looking for someone down-to-earth and who values humor and lightness, but can help them go deeper and connect with their thoughts and emotions rather than always compartmentalizing or just "toughing it out." I focus on men’s issues, anxiety, relationships, stress, depression, and mindfulness.

Sometimes it feels as if we lost our way; our closest relationships are a constant source of conflict and loneliness, and we struggle to find true connections, clarity, confidence, hope, and peace. It does not need to be that way. You can be seen and loved for who you really are, and you can count on yourself and others through the ups and downs of life. I enjoy guiding people through that journey to become their best selves and to enjoy fulfilling relationships.

To address symptoms of trauma, OCD, and anxiety, I use evidence-based practices such as EMDR, CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, AEDP, and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
You’ve climbed the corporate ladder, shattered ceilings, and defied expectations—but the demands are taking a toll. Burned out and exhausted, you may wonder if your best will ever be enough. Juggling high-stakes decisions and constant expectations, you’re running on empty, feeling stuck and overwhelmed.
You might feel like you’re running on empty, struggling with guilt for taking a break, or wondering if your best will ever be enough. The passion that once fueled your drive feels dimmed. And while you excel in managing teams and strategy, managing your own stress and emotions can feel overwhelming.

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.
