My Approach to Psychotherapy
I consider myself an attachment-informed, emotionally-focused psychotherapist. I incorporate somatic, experiential, and relational modalities that are informed by attachment theory, object relations theory, relational neuroscience, and somatic mindfulness.
Somatic: Nervous System Regulation, Physiological & Affective Felt Experience
Experiential: Here-and-Now, Moment-to-Moment
Relational: Connection between Client-Therapist, Client-Self, Client-Others (past and present)
Modalities
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
