Without pretense of neutrality or distance for which therapists are typically trained, we'll engage in vibrant conversation and contemplative sharing. Glimmers of epiphany and possibility will pop from the empty feeling in your chest, the butterflies in your belly, the painful tightness in your throat.
With your heavy heart and yearnings as our road-map, I bring all of my genuine self to our work. Together we create moments of clarity and calm; you remember what is special about you, and your dreams, loves, hopes re-ignite. You'll no longer feel alone even after you leave our session. Your day-to-day mindset will come into sharper focus as you feel stronger and closer in your relationships, more seamless in your self-care.

I specialize with people who yearn to re-connect with themselves and realize their passions: in love, during life transitions, in relationships, and in artistic, spiritual or career path(s). Helping people uncover their tenderness and core strength is the healing hallmark of my work. I received my MSW from Smith College, and have felt a passion to practice and teach experiential methods of psychotherapy and counseling ever since.
What happens when the very people who were supposed to provide safety and protection were gone, unreliable, or actively harmful? This creates an attachment-based trauma. You felt abandoned and alone, and needed to freeze-out the enormity of the loss, terror, anger and other emotions. The feelings were too big for your young self to process, and perhaps expressing them would have gotten you into more trouble.
AEDP is a premier Mindfulness Psychotherapy. The acronym spelled out is Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy; the model was developed about 20 years ago by Diana Fosha, PhD to heal the pain and injury of childhood or later trauma. AEDP heals elusive emotional pain such as feelings of chronic shame or aloneness, gleaned from the seeds of your less than optimal childhood.
As an AEDP Certified Supervisor and Therapist, I offer teaching opportunities and clinical supervision to all modalities of psychotherapists and coaches. I also consult to programs in universities, clinics and hospitals, and produce and teach workshops and retreats around the US and internationally.
It's a small group learning and teaching opportunity for us to share together, in a group which will quickly feel safe and engaging, to bridge our right and left brain knowledge as we learn and practice new moment-to-moment AEDP tracking skills and healing interventions: Sign-up here.
