I am particularly interested in the unique trauma experienced by the first responder.
I have extensive experience in Trauma and Addiction Issues that result in behavioral consequences. I work best with adults of all ages but have had successful results with mature young adults and elders with dementia. I work from a reality therapy approach and believe the best solutions are the solutions the clients generate for themselves with guidance from the therapist.

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma during childhood or as adults. Trauma alters our psychophysiology (the way in which the body and mind interact) leading to a variety of mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, addiction and some personality disorders. My main approach to treatment is helping clients understand and manage their autonomic nervous system. When clients learn how to co-regulate and self-regulate, they can manage their symptoms, emotions, thoughts and behaviors more effectively. They also feel safer in their bodies which improves their relationships and sense of self.

I offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for resolution of current problems, and use "deeper" therapy approaches to resolve inner conflicts: EMDR therapy for recovery from past trauma; Feeling-State Addiction Protocol to weaken the urge to repeat addictive behaviors; and Emotion-Focused Therapy to repair distrust and relationships with yourself and others.

I work to resolve inner conflicts formed around avoided thoughts, feelings, and memories in order to heal fragmented parts of self, improve clients’ satisfaction with their lives, and decrease psychiatric symptoms.

I work with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, eating disorders, body image issues, complex trauma, PTSD, grief and relationship issues.
In a world where we are constantly experiencing trauma, both directly and indirectly, it can be difficult to identify how deeply different things in life affect us. I believe that the experience of feeling understood can be the catalyst for change and something that allows for healing to begin. I aim to provide a space of healing, openness and exploration for those things that you might otherwise suppress or carry with heaviness or judgment. Together, we can heal that unresolved stuff from the past and create skills to support you through future circumstances.

I help young adults to seniors struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, grief, addiction, and other concerns. Seeking help can be intimidating, especially when you feel alone and misunderstood. You may avoid “burdening” others with the weight of your worries. I’m trained to support you in finding relief for symptoms holding you back from enjoying life. I create a supportive therapeutic environment by giving clients a safe space to share their experiences, thoughts, and emotions without judgment. I build rapport with clients by getting to know them and providing them with empathy and unconditional positive regard.

My training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) a type of trauma therapy, complements the emotional work.
With over 35 years of experience working with individuals and couples, I draw upon a number of therapeutic modalities to help you in your personal growth. Puzzled by some of the things that you do that don't make logical sense? We will explore why they make emotional sense. Though many times you may not feel connected to your resiliency or trust that it is even present, our work is meant to promote accessing more of your own inner resources. A person needs to address issues not just mentally, but also emotionally. Emotional wounds need to be healed emotionally.

Specialty areas for me include trauma, disordered eating, mood, attachment, and family dynamics.
I understand how difficult it can be to take the first step towards healing. To me, the most important aspect of psychotherapy is the relationship between therapist and client. I strive to provide an environment where clients feel safe to disclose private thoughts, feelings, dreams and feel comfortable taking emotional risks. Clients come to me seeking help with unresolved trauma, relationship difficulties, mood, and disordered eating. It is my privilege to work alongside others towards creating a more fulfilling and peaceful life.
