“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” (Anais Nin)
I’m passionate about healing, growth and transformation. As a therapist I don’t just sit back and listen because healing often requires more than us simply sharing our stories. For transformation to truly take hold we need to have new, empowering experiences of our own agency, authenticity, and lovability. It’s my job to create these healing moments with you. As we activate the innate drive within you toward growth and flourishing, moments of empowerment, joy, peace, and connection often emerge. Together we will to work to deepen and expand these positive states so that they can become more and more a part of who you are.
When working with individuals I draw from the empirically-validated methodology of AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy). With roots in attachment theory and affective neuroscience this emotion focused, trauma-informed approach directly harnesses the brain’s innate capacity for neuroplasticity; for deep and lasting change throughout the lifespan.
We also have the option of integrating EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), an evidence-based trauma treatment into our work.
When working with couples I use the empirically-validated modality of EFT (Emotionally Focused Couples therapy). In this approach I support you and your partner in moving from painful states of disconnection into secure ways of relating, allowing you to build long-lasting safety, connection, and intimacy in your relationship.
