My formal academic study was rooted in Humanistic and Existential Psychotherapy, and my work pays great homage to that tradition. In the years since, I have done extensive post-graduate training in somatic, relational, and attachment-based models of therapy and human development that largely inform how I practice today. The present iteration of my work is a cutting-edge hybrid of body-centered psychotherapy and dynamic relational processes informed by AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), Authentic Relating, Integral theory, and contemplative, mindfulness-based practices.

My orientation is to an evolutionary, transformation-based model of healing and change. The field of psychotherapy has long been hyper-focused on psychopathology, and a paradigm shift is in order. Regardless of the traumas that one has endured, there is always an abiding instinct that pulses, unrelentingly, toward aliveness in the human system. I am committed to trusting the wild intelligence of this vital current.
