As treatment begins, my goal is to help people feel safe enough to share their stories and explore their experiences. We work together to
- strengthen emotional awareness as an embodied & deeply felt experience, increasing access to the power of your emotions
- explore patterns of relating to yourself and others
- expand your capacity for relational connection
- clarify intentions and work to manifest these in your life
I am a Board certified psychiatrist and a licensed physician in the state of Minnesota. In my work with patients I draw on extensive psychotherapy training, particularly AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), as well as my life experience, yoga and meditation practices, and wisdom traditions that honor our interconnection with all of life. I bring a holistic approach to healing, supporting treatment with psychotropic medications when necessary and primarily focusing on lifestyle choices such as exercise, nutrition, sleep, minimal substance use, yoga and other mindfulness practices.
In addition to individual psychotherapy, I also provide individual and group supervision for therapists interested in AEDP training. I am a certified AEDP supervisor and adjunct faculty with the AEDP Institute.
