to you - toward your true potential and the life you want to live.
First session
In our first session we will get to know each other better, get a better understanding of what brings you into counseling, and what you hope to gain from our time together in an environment that is warm, non-judgemental, and affirming. You will hopefully walk away feeling seen, heard, and excited to begin our work together.

Ideal clients

Treatment methods
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
I have been deeply immersed in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) for over a decade and consider it the foundation of my clinical orientation. My advanced training in AEDP has shaped not only my understanding of transformation and healing, but also how I engage relationally and experientially with clients in the room. In my practice, I use AEDP to create a safe, attuned, and emotionally engaged therapeutic relationship where clients can explore their inner world with increasing depth and trust. I work from a stance of affirmation and accompaniment, helping clients access core affect, undo aloneness, and process emotional and relational trauma through a secure attachment relationship. I integrate moment-to-moment tracking of somatic experience, emotion, and defenses, and guide clients toward the healing experiences that emerge from within. What I find most powerful about AEDP is its focus on transformation—on not just resolving suffering, but fostering flourishing. I regularly witness how, through experiential processing and the metatherapeutic processing of change itself, clients develop greater self-compassion, resilience, and a deeper sense of connection to themselves and others. AEDP has not only transformed the way I practice, but also how I relate to my own experience. It continues to be a living, evolving practice for me—one that I am both humbled by and deeply committed to.
Jungian
Jungian-influenced psychotherapy plays an important and complementary role in the way I support clients. With over a decade of advanced training and experience in Jungian approaches, including work with dreams, sand tray, archetypes, and shadow integration, I draw on these methods to deepen the therapeutic process when appropriate. I often incorporate Jungian concepts to help clients explore unconscious material, symbolic themes, and deeper layers of meaning that may not surface through verbal processing alone. For example, dreamwork or sand tray can offer powerful openings into the psyche, while archetypal and shadow work provide valuable insight into patterns, defenses, and potentials that may be emerging in their healing journey. In this way, Jungian psychotherapy serves as a flexible, depth-oriented layer in my work, enhancing emotional exploration, personal insight, and integration, while remaining grounded in the primary therapeutic frame I hold with each client.
Psychodynamic
I use psychodynamic methods to explore how early relationships, unconscious patterns, and internal conflicts shape present-day emotions, behaviors, and relational dynamics. In practice, this involves helping clients develop insight into recurring themes, build self-awareness, and work through unresolved emotional experiences in the context of a safe, attuned therapeutic relationship. While I integrate other modalities, psychodynamic principles guide my attention to the deeper layers of meaning and the transformative potential of the therapeutic relationship itself.
