How I Work
As an experiential psychotherapist, I will help you get to know yourself in a deep and meaningful way.
Many of us spend years trying to figuring out why we feel the way we do, why we struggle in certain relationships, or why we continue to repeat patterns we wish we could change. Insight is important, but lasting change often happens when we are able to actually experience ourselves differently.
Together, we will work toward a new experience of yourself. We’ll slow down and pay attention to what is happening in the present moment while we’re together: the emotions, sensations, and beliefs that arise as we explore your experiences. Rather than simply talking about your life from a distance, we will turn toward your inner experience together, with compassion, curiosity, and kindness. We’ll make space for you to get to know the parts of yourself that may be difficult to access, understand, or fully express. We will work together to strengthen self-compassion and self-trust: the foundations of a more grounded, secure, and resilient sense of self.
My hope is that our work will help you feel more deeply connected to yourself and the people you love, and ready to move through your life with greater clarity, courage, and authenticity.
My training
I am an integrative experiential therapist whose work is grounded in attachment theory, contemporary psychodynamic theory, and interpersonal neurobiology. My primary therapeutic approach is Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), an attachment-based, experiential therapy that helps people process emotions in new ways, fostering healing, resilience, and lasting change. I also draw from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), the STAIR Method, Core Self Reclamation Therapy (CSRT), and psychodynamic psychotherapy to tailor treatment to each person's unique needs.
I am currently pursuing certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) and have a particular interest in supporting individuals through the profound emotional and relational changes of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. Becoming a parent can reshape our identities, relationships, and sense of ourselves, often bringing both meaningful growth and unexpected challenges. I approach this work with attention to the ways our attachment histories and lived experiences shape how we navigate this profound transition.
I continue to pursue advanced training and consultation to deepen my clinical work and better serve my clients.
