My practice is currently focused on treating adult survivors of childhood interpersonal trauma. I have published numerous peer reviewed papers, authored two seminal books (Caffaro, 1998; 2014) on Sibling Abuse Trauma, trained professionals nationally and internationally, and serve as Advisory Board Member on the Sibling Aggression and Abuse Research and Advocacy Initiative (SAARA) embedded at the University of New Hampshire. I am a licensed psychologist and marriage and family therapist with more than 25 years of clinical experience treating depression, anxiety, and post traumatic stress in adult survivors of interpersonal trauma.
My trauma - informed approach treats psychological distress resulting from complex relational trauma. I am trained in EMDR, experiential psychodynamic psychotherapy, and employ an integrative strengths-based relational approach to individual and group psychotherapy. I am a AAMFT Approved Supervisor, and elected Fellow in four divisions of APA.
I serve as Distinguished Professor at the California School of Professional Psychology and Assistant Clinical Professor at the UCSD Medical School, Dept of Psychiatry. I regularly provide consultation to clinicians and forensic settings due to my expertise working with adult survivors of sibling sexual, physical, and emotional trauma.

My approach is primarily relational, interpersonal, and psychodynamic and prioritizes building a solid, trusting therapeutic alliance with each client.
