"PEACE. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still BE CALM IN YOUR HEART" (author unknown). Has childhood trauma, relationship difficulties, or life circumstances created emotional pain, physical pain, confusion, or self-doubt? Each of us has the capacity and potential to live a peaceful, fulfilling, and satisfying life. We can work together to make this growth possible. I have extensive experience in transforming patterns that cause depression, anxiety, distress, and disconnection from one's self and others.
My clinical specialty is adult who carry the legacy of childhood trauma. I work collaboratively with each client-- Individually or in Couples-- to create an environment in which the healing process can take place. My clients and colleagues tell me I am insightful, knowledgeable, and highly skilled.
I utilize the most contemporary Mind-Body talk therapies for the most effective treatment of trauma, such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, EMDR, IFS, AEDP, & Havening Therapy. Because trauma deeply affects the body, as well as the mind, "therapy [that includes] both, touches the soul" (R. Kurtz)

Groups
ClinicalConsultatio:IntegratingSomaticTherapies
Our clients often exhibit the legacy of trauma and attachment wounding by means of affect dysregulation, ineffective/inappropriate autonomic responses, and body symptomotology. By means of case consultation and discussion, the focus of the group will center on the needs of clinicians who wish to increase their awareness of the profound affect trauma has on the body. Clinicians will expand their practice of traditional psychotherapy with the integration of theory, interventions, and techniques that directly address the somatic expressions of the body.
