I have specialized expertise in the treatment of posttraumatic stress and other problems related to trauma and abuse.
Is anxiety or depression preventing you from living a more fulfilling life? Are you feeling overwhelmed by a major transition? Are you unable to move on from an upsetting or traumatic past experience? I help patients change patterns of behavior that are no longer working, and learn new and more effective ways of coping and engaging with life. I believe that embedded in the painful crises that usually bring individuals and couples to therapy, there are also opportunities for self understanding and mastery that can be discovered and realized in a safe healing relationship.

Each of us have experienced a point in time where we have been overwhelmed by trauma, problems at home, work or in the community. These problems may be issues including anxiety, depression, domestic violence, sexual assault, work place violence, death of a loved one, co-parenting, anger, divorce, work place stress or substance abuse. These stressors may impact daily life and can become overwhelming and require the need for outside support from a trained, licensed professional in order to work through challenges.

Sometimes you feel like a failure. No matter what you do, nothing works and you just don't know what to do anymore. Perhaps you are feeling very alone; yet putting up that façade so people have no idea what you are going through. When we are feeling so stuck, hopeless, or alone, it is really difficult to know what to do differently and it is hard to know how to reach out for help. You have taken the first courageous step in making a change by coming here. What if I told you that there is hope? We will explore what is meaningful to you and help you recover joy. We will cry, laugh, and work on your strengths.

With 20 years’ experience, my core assumption is that each of us has the innate capacity to do all of the following: feel happy; form close and satisfying relationships with others; manage situations effectively; make good decisions; and even heal from trauma and loss. However, sometimes that innate capacity gets blocked. That is when we run into emotional or behavioral problems. It is my job to help you understand what is blocking your own innate capacity so those blocks can dissolve.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
