• Psychotherapy

My main goal as a psychotherapist is to help others access their innate positive resources. I assume that we are wired for happiness and growth and view the therapeutic relationship as a safe and secure base from which to support the naturally intelligent emergence of healing experience. In addition to cognitive and emotional insight, I believe that bringing mindful attention to our breath and bodily sensations can help us more directly recognize, release, and transform deeply held psychosomatic patterns that are no longer serving us.

My present-centered and mindfulness-based therapeutic approach is strongly shaped by my extensive training in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy):

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP): Interpersonal attunement in service of healing traumatic experience. http://www.aedpinstitute.org/
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Mindfulness-based approaches to working with detrimental cognitive and behavioral patterns. http://www.dbtselfhelp.com/
