Immediate In-Network Availability. Accepting New Clients! Trauma Specialist with over 30 years experience specializing in the treatment of Adult & Childhood Abuse Trauma/ PTSD, Grief & Loss, Relationship issues, Work Stress, and Life Transitions. I provide adult individual therapy. I have worked cross-culturally across multiple, diverse cultures to include American Indian Nations. I am gender affirming & LGBTQ+ allied. I bring forward professional and personal life experiences in addressing various life transitions. If you have struggled to understand your own feelings you may need help to make sense of your experiences.
If you have experienced traumas or traumatic loss, you like so many survivors, may be carrying the burden of guilt, self-blame, shame and depression for years trying desperately to forget what seems too overwhelming to face. If you are struggling in your relationships with those close to you, you may be frustrated and confused by unresolved conflicts.
I offer a nurturing, emotionally focused and trauma informed approach to help you feel at ease and comfortable in the process toward healing and empowerment. You can heal from the wounds of trauma, grief & loss, relationships and other life stressors contributing to depression and anxiety to live more fully and at peace.
