We don't just talk about your feelings. We move through them together.
AEDP — Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy — is how I bring the work to life. It takes therapy beyond insight into something deeper: actually feeling and processing emotions in real time, in your body, with someone present enough to go there with you.

You can understand something perfectly — why you do it, where it came from, what it's costing you — and still not change. That gap between knowing and actually shifting is real. AEDP is designed to close it.
In AEDP we work with the mind-body connection directly. We talk about what you're feeling — and we pay close attention to where and how you're feeling it in your body. We process emotions together in real time rather than analyzing them from a distance. The goal is a corrective emotional experience: actually finishing an emotional loop that's been stuck open, sometimes for years.
AEDP is also deeply relational. I'm not a blank screen in this work — I'm intentionally warm, attuned, and present. I'm actively fostering the secure connection between us, because that connection is part of how healing happens.
This is what I'm doing that's different.
If you've been in more traditional talk therapy, you might notice that our sessions feel different. More alive, maybe. More present-moment focused. Here's what I'm actually tracking and doing.
"What does it feel like between us right now?" — I ask this. Explicitly. Because the connection in the room is information.
"What does that feel like in your body?" — We don't just talk about emotions. We locate them, stay with them, and move through them.
"What's it feel like to hear me say that?" — I track moment-to-moment shifts in affect and reflect them back.
I share my own emotional responses when it helps the work. My countertransference isn't hidden — it's used. Carefully and intentionally.
A lot of my clients feel deeply alone at their core.
Whether it's from shame, trauma, or the particular kind of emotional loneliness that comes from a lifetime of being the strong one — the one who holds everyone else up, reads everyone else's needs, attunes to everyone else. That loneliness is real. And it's hard.
What AEDP explicitly tries to do — and what I genuinely try to offer — is real connection. So that at the very least, you know what it feels like to be truly seen by someone. Wanted by them. Stayed with. I'm explicit about safety in this work. I want you to know that I'm here, that I'm not going anywhere, and that what you bring into this room is welcome.
"Women are expected to attune to everyone else's needs. AEDP is very much about staying in the moment with your feelings — and having someone stay there with you while you process them. That's what I want to give you."
Two approaches. One direction.
AEDP came from psychodynamic roots — it's a modernized, experiential take on relational depth work. So for me, they're not in conflict. Psychodynamic therapy helps us understand the deeper architecture of your patterns — where they came from, what they mean, how they've shaped you. AEDP brings that understanding into the body and into the room, so we're not just talking about it from a distance.
If there's any tension, it's this: traditional psychodynamic work often asks the therapist to put less of themselves in the room, so the client's projections can land more freely. AEDP asks me to put more of myself in — to be warmer, more present, more explicit about connection. I lean toward the latter. Because for most of the women I work with, a real relationship is part of what's been missing. And I'd rather give them that.
Healing feels like being seen.
