My Approach

Experiential therapy is not your grandmother’s therapy, which for most was weekly “talk” therapy sessions for many years, with minimal gains.

Experiential therapy redefines treatment as brief, targeted, and research-based - similar to addressing an acute medical issue. It’s an intense, collaborative process guided by the client’s unfolding experience and focused on lasting, transformative change.

My therapeutic philosophy is anchored in:

I am trained in and employ the aforementioned and methodologies below, across all therapy sessions, as determined by the needs of the client. There is no formula.

As an integrated therapist, my work is a dynamic collaborative effort  between myself and my client: it unfolds, evolves, and goes where it needs to go.

I tailor my therapy to you and your needs, which are different day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute. We are, after all, organic beings. No two sessions will ever look or be the same, but our therapy will build a “flow,” a “rhythm” and “tempo,” which will become familiar.

Experiential Therapy, distinguished by its emphasis on action, says Sabrina Romanoff, PsyD, a professor and clinical psychologist in New York City. Romanoff asserts that:

"Action is important because when a person is bodily engaged, they have access to psychological elements they wouldn’t have access to otherwise. Action can also be a precursor to change—by acting in a new way, a person can think in new ways.”

Resource Therapy

Resource Therapy is considered a “parts” methodology. In its most simplified version, Disney captured this remarkably well in the film Inside Out* and even in parts of Inside Out 2*.

Why This Therapy is Different:

• Memory Reconsolidation: RT facilitates deep change by working with the brain’s natural healing mechanisms to transform distressing emotional memories.

• Efficient & Targeted: RT is brief, psychodynamically informed, focused, and often produces results more quickly than traditional talk therapy alone.

• Ethical & Client-Centered: The model is respectful, empowering, and grounded in client safety and choice.

Clinical Certifications:

Coherence Therapy*

Coherence Therapy is a unified set of methods and concepts for individual, couple and family work that enable a therapist to foster profound change with a high level of consistency.

From the first session, the work is focused on guiding clients to bring awareness to ignored core areas of meaning, feeling, and emotional learning that are generating the presenting symptom or problem.  Coherence Therapy makes use of native capacities for swiftly retrieving (and then transforming) the client's unconscious, symptom-requiring emotional schemas which were learned adaptively early in life.
