Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Therapy

Heal From Attachment & Developmental Trauma

You Want To Feel Better & Grow

Have you been in talk therapy for months or years without deep, lasting transformative change? 

  • Do you feel easily overwhelmed and confused by emotions? 

  • Do you feel alone, invisible, and like no one understands your experiences?

  • Do you avoid conflict, disagreements, and find it hard to ask for what you want?

  • Do you manage feelings and thoughts by avoiding or distracting through things like working and keeping busy? 


I practice a form of therapy called AEDP which facilitates deep, long lasting, growth, change and insight.

What is Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)?

  • A type of therapy where the focus is on healing past painful experiences toward emotional healing (feeling rather than doing/thinking/solving/fixing).

  • The goal of AEDP therapy is to help clients heal from their trauma and find ways to live happier and healthier lives.

  • In AEDP therapy, we work together and explore your emotions, experiences, and memories related to the past.

  • One technique is called "experiential" because it helps the client connect with their emotions in a deep and meaningful way. This can involve talking about the trauma or using activities like guided imagery, imagining, inner child work, redoing the past.

  • I’ll help you build new skills and coping strategies to manage your emotions better, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.

  • The basic premise is that we are all wired for change, growth, and healing. This means everyone has the ability to heal, feel better, and grow into the person they desire to be.

AEDP Helps People Who

  • Intellectualize and use logic to process their emotions

  • Disassociate or disconnect from their feelings 

  • Fear and avoid vulnerability

  • Feel stuck in life 

  • Hold tension in their bodies 

  • Feel alone in their experiences 

  • Experienced relational and attachment trauma

  • Experience anxiety, depression, loneliness

  • Want to increase their self esteem

  • Experience the same relationship issues and want to shift unhelpful patterns/dynamics

It’s Always Depression or Anxiety

  • Is it depression or is it oppression?

  • is it anxiety or is it reality?

  • While anxiety and depression can be a mixture of biochemistry and genetics, it can also be a result of environment or systemic factors (things outside of our control) or things we do to ourselves as a result of our conditioning and society (e.g. internalized oppression, gender roles, classism, homophobia, racism, transphobia).

The Change Triangle

  • The Change Triangle was created by Hilary Jacobs Hendel.

  • The premise is that we try to defend (distract, avoid, internalize, push away) our emotions or feel anxious, shame, and/or guilt, we are disconnected from our true Self which creates suffering and pain.

  • The change triangle is a step-by-step process for feeling better by getting you to feel and process your core core emotions like joy, anger, sadness, fear, and excitement.

  • When we process and make space for our emotions, we feel more peaceful, calm, compassionate, and curious.

✔️ Feel less alone (and more connected with yourself and others you care about)

✔️ Feel more safe in your body (and understand the reactions and ways to manage them) 

✔️ Better understand why you do what you do (to interrupt unhelpful relationship and emotional cycles)

✔️ Create corrective emotional experiences (to heal from past experiences)

✔️ Trust more in others (and trust yourself)

Healing Is Possible

There is hope.

I’ve worked with many survivors of childhood, attachment, and developmental trauma who now have more peace, joy, freedom in their lives.

I work with survivors of trauma who are now parents who want to parent healthier children and break the cycle of trauma.

I work with therapists and social workers who are wounded healers.

I work with professionals who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out, and want to take better care of themselves.

I work with individuals who are dating or in relationships and want to create and sustain healthier and more satisfying relationships.

You can feel more joy and peace.

You deserve to have a life where you feel at home not just in your head, but in your body and emotions. You deserve authentic connection and loving relationships with people you trust and care for.
