Experiential Depth Psychotherapy

Many of the people I work with are curious, creative, and deeply engaged with their lives. They care about their work, their relationships, and their inner worlds—often capable and accomplished, and also quietly exhausted. On the outside, things may look “together.” On the inside, there can be anxiety, depression, self-doubt, or a sense of working hard just to stay connected, worthy, or okay.
Individual therapy offers a primary space to slow all of this down. It provides an ongoing, relational container for exploring patterns of emotion, meaning, and self-understanding over time. From this foundation, additional modalities—such as ecotherapy or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy—may become supportive pathways, depending on your needs and readiness.

Individuals
We pay attention not only to what you think and say, but to what your body is doing, what emotions are moving beneath the surface, and what happens between us in the room. When anxiety spikes, when you shut down, when self-criticism takes over, we don’t treat these as problems to eliminate—but as meaningful signals worth listening to.
Over time, this work can support a shift from self-protection and over-effort toward a more grounded, trusting, and compassionate relationship with yourself.
I’m an engaged, present, and attuned therapist. My style is warm and collaborative, and I’m also willing to be direct and gently challenging when it supports growth. I care about creating a relationship that feels real—one that can hold honesty, emotion, humor, and complexity.
I hold therapy as a place where new ways of relating can be experienced, not just talked about. Together, we pay attention to what unfolds between us, using the therapeutic relationship as a living space to explore patterns, experiment with change, and build more choice.
My work is informed by extensive training in developmental trauma and attachment-based psychotherapy. I am a Level 3 practitioner in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and participate in ongoing psychoanalytic consultation, which supports careful attention to unconscious processes and relational dynamics.
I’m also deeply influenced by Jungian psychology through many years of training and practice in authentic movement. This has shaped how I listen for symbolism, nonverbal expression, and the ways meaning often emerges through the body, image, and felt sense—beyond words alone.
You don’t need to know or care about these models for the work to be meaningful. They simply inform how I listen, respond, and stay with you.
- Greater ease and flexibility in how you relate to yourself and others

- More clarity around decisions and direction

How I Work:
Therapy with me is a space to get curious about how you learned to be who you are—how your ways of coping, striving, loving, or protecting yourself came into being, and how they might be both helping and limiting you now.
