I am a psychotherapist trained in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy ( AEDP).
Do you find yourself longing for a deeper connection with yourself and others? You want close relationships and yet these very relationships become a source of pain? Many people find their way to therapy feeling lost, confused, and alone. For me, a most valuable aspect of therapy is connecting with a caring other and being able to undo the loneliness that one feels in their experience. Feeling connected in therapy allows individuals to access important core emotions and gain a deeper sense of themselves. My goal is that people leave therapy with a renewed sense of vitality and a coherent narrative of who they are.

Do you feel anxious, sad, or stressed out from trying to navigate life on your own? Do you feel misunderstood, disconnected from loved ones, or stuck in patterns you feel powerless to change?

I believe that no question is inappropriate to ask, no issue is too challenging to face, and everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. My goal is to create a safe space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment or shame.

You want a healthy relationship, but what you have just sucks! You're tired of feeling like this! You need help! Face it, you're stressed, anxious, depressed, and tired of escaping reality. Forget living up to your full potential, you just feel done. You're not even sure what to do next.

You’re here because you’ve hit that point where “just getting by” isn’t cutting it anymore. Maybe it’s the anxiety that grips you every morning or the growing silence between you and your partner that’s too loud to ignore. You’ve tried to hold it together, but deep down, you know something has to change. You’re not here for a quick chat, a checklist of coping strategies, or some dull homework assignments—you’re here because you’re ready to cut through the noise and chaos to finally feel alive again, maybe for the first time. I know you have what it takes within you to find fulfillment, and I’m here to help you unlock it.

I believe counseling is a place to learn and grow. I will use techniques that encourage clients to find the solutions to their dilemmas within themselves. We have the freedom to choose what directions our life takes and the responsibility to take control of that freedom. As the counselor, I don't have the answers to clients' problems but am a guide in the process that helps the client(s) take responsibility, action, and come to a resolution. I may assign small homework that will help you learn and reach your goals. Your happiness and well-being are my main concerns.

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.
