• Psychotherapy

My main goal as a psychotherapist is to help others access their innate positive resources. I assume that we are wired for wholeness, 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 participatory therapeutic approach is strongly shaped by my extensive training in the attachment-oriented practice of AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and mindfulness-based perspective of DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy):
