I specialize in treating trauma and chronic stress, in particular developmental trauma. I work holistically and incorporate the body-mind perspective in my work. I have completed the three-year (216 hour) training to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), which is a short-term naturalistic approach to healing trauma. I have also completed the two-year (144 hour) training in the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), which is a treatment approach that addresses developmental trauma, i.e. childhood trauma. I am currently studying Psychoanalysis at the Psychoanalytic Association of California (PINC).

Emotions can sometimes be difficult to bear-sadness, worries about yourself and others, fears, painful recurrent interactions and relationships. Working with an understanding professional to explore feelings and expectations about yourself and your relationships can be the key to clarifying troubling emotional states. These feelings can cause recurrent painful states, or push us toward repetitive or self-destructive behaviors. Exploring these feelings in a safe relationship can cause feelings about yourself and others to shift, opening to new ways of thinking and behaving. This allows for greater flexibility, enhanced creativity, a better relationship with yourself, and better connections and relationships.

Change is challenging, whether one seeks it or it just happens. I help adult and adolescent clients deal with roadblocks to their desired changes, including difficulties with depression, anxiety, fears, addictions, obsessions and compulsions. I also help them cope with--and adjust to--unwanted change, including deaths of friends or family members, and job, relationship or pet losses. I work collaboratively with clients throughout their transitions, using the approaches and tools that are most useful to each individual.

Being in a long-term relationship can be difficult. Job stress, parenting, chronic illness, and past trauma all add to the disruption in a relationship. When one or more of these are at play, your energy is sapped and your ability to respond to your partner or kids with patience is limited. It's hard to keep yourself from just reacting, whether that reaction is to snap out or shut down. I know - from very personal experience - how it feels to be trapped, alone, and stuck in a relationship without any idea how to make it better. But now, there's a roadmap to making these issues better, and I'd like to share it with you.

I also provide couples counseling, again focusing on behavioral tools and goals and assessing their effectiveness throughout the therapy process.

Making the choice to come to therapy is not an easy one. Therapy can be difficult and intimidating but ultimately has the potential to help you create positive and lasting change. I commonly work with clients who struggle with negative thoughts, depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment, self-harm, low self-esteem, identity, life transitions, difficult past/present life experiences, relationships, family conflict, and loss. My focus is on supporting you while we explore your situation, finding what tools work best and support your needs most, and using those tools to gently challenge and push past the barriers that currently exist.
