My style of therapy assists clients with overcoming attachment issues, fears and creating new ways of deeply connecting to the significant people in their lives. As a therapist, I have studied and utilized with success several theories and techniques of counseling, including but not limited to: person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, feedback informed therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma informed therapy approaches but I have a great passion for Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy as I have seen the most change with clients using AEDP techniques. I have found that it is the all-important interaction between the client and myself where the art of therapy lies. This art is the rapport, which is established by bringing my genuine self to each session and by valuing each client, and their distinctive qualities and unique experiences.
