What kind of therapy do you offer?

My approach is relational and experiential, guided by Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). We’ll explore what’s on your mind, while also paying close attention to your emotions in the moment and your experience of what’s happening between us in real time. I also offer EMDR, a technique that’s very effective in processing past traumas.

How does therapy help?

Therapy helps you gain clarity and insight into your struggles, and it enhances your awareness of your emotional and relational patterns. By noticing these patterns, we can work together to make changes that help you move forward.

What counts as trauma?

Trauma is any experience that lingers in a way that burdens or holds you back. It might be physical, like an accident or assault, or relational, like emotional abuse, loss or a painful breakup. Trauma can impact you in different ways, but if it’s affecting you, it’s worth addressing.

What is AEDP?

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is a trauma-informed and attachment-focused therapy. It emphasizes the healing power of a genuine, supportive relationship. In this case, the relationship you and I create together. Many people haven’t had enough secure attachments in their lives, so we actively participate in sessions (and sometimes even between sessions), providing a safe, understanding and supportive environment. Clients often find this approach feels more engaged than traditional therapy styles.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective treatment for PTSD and traumatic stress. It involves processing distressing memories using bilateral stimulation, like following moving dots on a screen, tapping or listening to audio through headphones. EMDR helps reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories and reshapes negative self-beliefs. A unique benefit of EMDR is that you don’t need to discuss every detail of the trauma for it to work. It’s also beneficial for processing grief. If you’re curious about EMDR, feel free to book a consultation with me.
