Individual Therapy

As an experienced and skilled psychotherapist, my goal is to help you to feel better, whether that means creating more fulfilling relationships, feeling less anxious or depressed, or navigating life transitions. 

My approach is empathic, authentic and warm, providing safe and affirming guidance in addressing concerns that might be related to:

• Relationship conflict and distress
• Family of Origin/Childhood relational issues and attachment trauma (such as emotional neglect, sexual/physical abuse)
• Self-Compassion
• Life Transitions and Adjustment Reactions/Stress
• Grief and Loss
• LGBTQ+ issues
• Anxiety and Depression
• Infertility/Pregnancy and Peripartum Issues

My work with individuals is informed by AEDP- Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, a research-based model of deeper psychotherapy that is experiential and emotion-focused, attachment-based, relational, and somatic. AEDP can be particularly helpful and effective in enhancing personal growth, reducing depression and a variety of psychological symptoms including negative thoughts, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal problems, as well as improving positive psychological functioning and self-compassion, an overall sense of well-being and flourishing (https://aedpinstitute.org)

In addition to advanced training and certification in AEDP, I have received advanced training in EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, an experiential therapy that can work well in processing traumatic memories and healing distressful life experiences. My work is also informed by IFS, Internal Family Systems and working with parts of ourselves. I am also intensively trained in mindfulness based stress reduction and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. DBT can provide effective coping skills and strategies to address life stressors and enhance living and thriving. 

My work is integrative and wholistic, considering mind-body approaches that are tailored to be healing and impactful for each individual.
