How I Work
As an experiential psychotherapist, I will help you get to know yourself in a new, deep way. Instead of talking about what’s on your mind in a narrative way— as you might with friends or family, or in traditional talk therapy, which can often feel too heady— we'll focus on your here-and-now experience by bringing mindful awareness to the sensations, emotions, and deeply-held beliefs you experience during our time together. By focusing on your moment-to-moment experience, we’ll help you work through feelings of anxiety or depression, access your inner life fully and bravely, and help you come to feel more at ease with yourself. We’ll work together to help you develop self-compassion and self-trust, the building blocks of internal security. With kindness and care, I will work to help you unleash what you already have inside: the ability to move through this time of your life with strength, clarity, courage, and resilience.
My Training
I am an integrative experiential therapist, which means that I weave together techniques from various powerful therapeutic models to facilitate deep and lasting change. My primary therapeutic modality is Accelerated Experiential Psychodynamic Therapy (AEDP), an attachment and emotion-focused psychotherapy. I also incorporate techniques from The STAIR Method, an integrative experiential method based in neuroscience research, Core Self Reclamation Therapy (CSRT), a trauma-informed belief-focused therapy, and and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a body-based trauma psychotherapy. I’ve also studied psychodynamic psychotherapy with the National Institute for the Psychotherapies (NIP) and am committed to ongoing private clinical supervision.
