My Approach to Psychotherapy & Sex Therapy:

​

I consider myself an attachment-informed psychotherapist & sex therapist. I incorporate somatic, experiential, and relational modalities that are informed by attachment theory, relational neuroscience, somatic mindfulness, and transformative studies.

​

Somatic: Mind-Body Experience

Experiential: Here-and-Now, Moment-to-Moment

Relational: Connection between Client-Therapist, Client-Self, Client-Others (past and present)

​

Through an emotionally-focused, attachment-informed perspective we will reinforce innate resiliency and self-compassion, as we embrace suppressed emotions and heal old attachment wounds that are impacting how you navigate your world today. This ultimately leads to a rewiring of the nervous system, allowing a secure and authentic sense of self to emerge.  

​

Modalities:

​

Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)

Core Self Reclamation Therapy (CSRT)

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
