What I do: Emotional Restructuring

I help people who are ready to change the underlying emotional patterns that drive their symptoms.

Sometimes therapy helps people feel better in the moment by allowing them to vent, talk through the events of the week, and have a listening ear. That’s a helpful service, and there’s an important place for that kind of support. That’s not what I do..

My work is most beneficial to someone who:

– Has a general idea of what they want to become and what they need to overcome.
– Is willing to rise to the occasion and do the inner work, but aren’t exactly sure how.
– Has begun to notice recurring patterns in their life that are keeping them stuck.

Emotional Restructuring means that we work together to: 1) identify the problematic emotional pattern, 2) find what’s keeping it going, and 3) replace the old pattern with something more beneficial.

What is AEDP?

While I am trained in a number of different therapeutic modalities, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy creates the fundamental framework for my therapy work.

Briefly, AEDP combines a robust theoretical framework of trauma healing, emotional expression, anxiety tolerance, and resilience with an experiential stance that uses the healing relationship to activate the body’s natural emotion healing processes.
