I teach the art of connection. Over the past 35 years, as I have studied and treated trauma in various forms and within multiple systems, I have held steadfast to one of many mantras; relationships are the true antidote to trauma. The integrated approach that I utilize may prove effective for those seeking to heal, those seeking to grow and learn, and those seeking to enhance their self, their relationships, their parenting role, or their organization as a whole. I have been recognized as an expert in the field of crisis de-escalation as I have provided more than 10,000 hours of staff development to schools, hospital, and agencies.

As a therapist, I partner with my clients to navigate challenging situations and times in their lives when negative emotions are more prevalent. I help clients manage stressors by increasing awareness of unhelpful patterns and developing new ways of thinking and coping. I view the therapeutic process as a non-judgmental and supportive space to resolve internal and external conflicts and obtain clarity.
