Nice to meet you

I have a warm and relational style and provide safe and experienced guidance using evidence and measurement-based treatment approaches that are trauma-informed and experientially emotion-focused, including certification in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and EFCT (Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy).
