APPROACH
You may look capable on the outside - functioning, responsible - but on the inside feel anxious, overwhelmed and disconnected. Maybe your emotions feel too big and overwhelming, or you just don't feel them at all. Perhaps using distraction or addiction to avoid how you feel.
You might find yourself stuck in the same painful and repeated relationship pattern - both longing for closeness but missing each other.
Nothing is wrong with you. Your nervous system adapted to what it experienced. The strategies that once protected you may now be keeping you stuck.
I am a trauma therapist specializing in attachment and relational healing. My work is grounded in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). An approach grounded in attachment science and neuroscience, which shows that when emotional pain is met with safety and attuned connection, the nervous system naturally moves toward integration and healing.
AEDP focuses on creating a safe, attuned relationship where you can process emotions that once felt overwhelming. Instead of just talking about your experiences, we work gently and experientially - helping you feel emotions with support, not alone.
With teens, this means building stronger emotional resilience and a stronger sense of self.
With adults, it often involves healing attachment wounds and shifting long-standing patterns.
With couples, we slow down painful cycles, uncover the vulnerable emotions beneath the conflict and foster new experiences of safety & connection with each other.
My style is warm, engaged and collaborative. I am active in the room and attentive to what is happening emotionally and in your nervous system in real time. We move at a pace that feels safe.
Over time, many clients experience:
- Greater emotional regulation
-Increased self-compassion and more peace
-More clarity about your feelings, needs and boundaries
-Deeper connection in relationship
