Over time, you’ve experienced stress or even trauma. Maybe you found comfort in school and work, but still fear failure, criticism, or not being enough. You’ve achieved many goals, including ones set by society without your consent, yet still you hold yourself to the standard that you must do it all. You want to better understand what’s holding you back, learn how to hold boundaries, and be free of harmful (often systemic) powers that burn you out, but where do you start? You deserve fulfilling relationships where you’re supported, meaningful and sustainable work, and a life aligned with your values. You don’t have to go it alone.

I enjoy working with folks who are looking to explore their relationship and attachment patterns. Most of my clients have learned to mask, perform, or self-abandon to be in relationships. Or try to avoid them altogether. You may have experienced dysfunction in your family of origin or previous significant relationships. We work together to understand and process the parts of your identity that you had to develop to navigate and/or survive these past situations. And then we begin the process of reconnecting with your true authentic self, identifying needs, developing healthy boundaries, and building fulfilling relationships.

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.
