The specific modalities I use include: AEDP (accelerated emotional dynamic psychotherapy), because emotions really are superpowers; ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) to help accept the reality of ourselves and surroundings while also committing to change and growth; narrative therapy, to explore the stories we are and want to be; Existential and REBT.
I'm a therapist because I love working with people and embrace humanity in all its glorious, messy, wondrous complexity. I'm here to work with your needs as a client, to help you understand yourself better and to empower you on your journey of growth and healing. I practice using an integrative approach, which means: I see you as a person shaped by your past, present and thoughts about the future; by your innate personality, environment and upbringing; by your social relationships, likes, dislikes and relationship with yourself.

Through a blend of AEDP, parts work, and somatic therapies you can reconnect with yourself, feel more grounded, and create meaningful, authentic relationships.
No matter how much you do, it never feels like enough or someone always wants more. And despite your successes, you can't help but wonder if this is all life has to offer. Holding yourself to impossible standards means constantly pushing harder, overthinking decisions, and secretly wondering why you still feel like you’re falling short. You’re juggling it all, but inside, you're unraveling. Tired of carrying the emotional load, always showing up for others but never feeling truly seen or valued. You long for peace, for real connection, and for the freedom to finally exhale, knowing you are enough. I get it, and I'd love to help!

I have advanced training in AEDP and EMDR.
Do you struggle with identifying and communicating about your emotions, wants and needs? Do you feel disconnected from friends or family and don't know why or how to change it? Do you feel that life could be more meaningful, more connected, more joyful, or more balanced - but don’t know how to access this elusive "more"? Or have you had a hard time finding your footing after a big life event or transition? The more we ignore or cover up what we're struggling with, the more we feel alone and fear being "exposed." This can cause us to feel isolated, inauthentic, awkward or ashamed and we may experience anxiety and depression.

No matter how much you get done, nothing feels like enough. As time has gone on maybe you've actually become less productive, no matter how hard you try to get organized.

You struggle with feeling understood, and connecting to people on a deep level. Relationships feel confusing and difficult. You wonder if you'll ever be able to heal.

My expertise is in helping you get underneath the familiar loops that hold you back using powerful somatic modalities (Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, AEDP) that go beyond traditional talk therapy.
Many of us turn to therapy because we feel lost, frustrated, or exhausted. Maybe we’re tired of swimming against the currents of anxiety or depression, but can’t find our way out.

Even when we understand our negative patterns, undoing them can feel intimidating. I believe we all have the capacity to heal and grow. That’s why I'm passionate about helping individuals and couples who are ready to do the deep, meaningful work towards change.

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.
