About Resilience Restored Psychotherapy
Healing is a journey, and with the right partnership, you have the power to choose a more life-giving path forward.
At Resilience Restored Psychotherapy, I see my role as a companion in helping you better understand yourself, make intentional choices, and reconnect with a more vibrant, life-giving version of yourself.
My Experience & Specialty
Throughout my 30 years of experience, I’ve worked with individuals to help them navigate life’s complexities, whether it’s trauma, personal struggles, or emotional pain. I believe that people are always working toward healing, but sometimes, they get stuck in patterns that aren’t productive or helpful. My goal is to empower you with the insight and tools to break free from these patterns and create a life that truly aligns with your values.
One of the cornerstones of my approach is AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy), an integrative method combining trauma-informed care, attachment theory, somatic/ experiential interventions and psychodynamic thinking. AEDP helps us explore your emotional experiences, become more mindful and aware, understand how your past shapes your present, and create lasting change.
My Commitment to Your Growth
My passion lies in helping people rediscover their strength and resilience, bringing experience, kindness, and wisdom to support healing in a troubled world. I’m inspired by the process of watching people grow. Committed to lifelong learning, I continually refine my approach with the latest advancements and share my insights in my book, Restoring Resilience: Discovering Your Clients’ Capacity for Healing (W.W. Norton & Co., 2015). In addition to my clinical work, I teach both nationally and internationally, including as faculty for the AEDP Institute and the National Institute of the Psychotherapies (NIP) Integrative Trauma Program, where I have the privilege of passing on my knowledge and experience to the next generation of therapists.
