I integrate several complementary approaches to create a holistic healing experience:

**Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)** is my primary therapeutic framework. AEDP is a healing-focused therapy where we explore your emotions together in the moment, not just talk about them. In our safe, supportive relationship, you'll move through difficult feelings toward relief and positive change. AEDP recognizes your natural healing capacities, and my role is creating the secure space where they can flourish.

**Sensorimotor Psychotherapy** helps us work with how trauma and difficult experiences live in your body. Sometimes our bodies hold onto painful experiences in ways that affect our thoughts, emotions, and daily life. Through this body-centered approach, we can gently process these stored reactions and help your nervous system find relief.

**Humanistic and Mindfulness Foundations** ground our work in respect for your inherent worth and wisdom. I draw on person-centered principles, which means I trust your capacity to grow and heal when given the right supportive environment. I also integrate mindfulness and spiritual approaches that honor your unique values and beliefs.

**Additional Approaches** I weave into our work include Attachment Theory, Systems Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Dan Siegel's integrative attachment work. For couples, I draw on training from the Institute for Relational Intimacy and the Couples Institute.
