As a systems oriented psychotherapist,
I believe that we are connected to and affected by those around us. Our families of origin,
communities,cultures,workplaces and families of choice impact our lives and sense of self.
Relationships and experiences we have had in the past influence who we are and how we relate to the world. To live with the greatest joy and productivity we must heal past relational traumas and bring to consciousness effects they have had in our lives. By doing so, we are free to make thoughtful choices about how we live our lives and relate to others.

Life throws us a curveball from time to time. Stressors that you maybe could've coped with in the past now feel overwhelming. Symptoms that you had kept at bay for years, are now making it hard to function. Sleepless nights, panic attacks, avoiding leaving the house, arguments with your partner, snapping at your kids...maybe even thinking that you wish it would all just stop because you're so tired. It doesn't have to be this way. Now is the time to reach out for support.

I use a person-centered approach to therapy. This means that I believe people are resourceful, capable of self-understanding, and are able to make the changes that they desire. By building a relationship based on respect, genuineness, and empathetic understanding I strive to create an environment where clients can work towards the growth and change they desire as I offer encouragement, support and constructive feedback along the way.

Are you a parent concerned about your teenager? What parent isn't, right? Or maybe you've just struck out on your own, exploring college and adulthood for the first time. The years from 16 to 25 bring so much physical, emotional, and social change. Everyone needs some extra support during this time. Whether it's withdrawing from friends, worrying excessively, lacking confidence, experiencing heartbreak, or seeing grades drop, talking to someone about it can help. Really! There's proof. All of those studies can't be wrong.

The heaviness of walking through this life can get to be too much to bear sometimes. Working 40+ hours per week, raising kids, tending to relationships, cooking healthy foods, making sure you get enough exercise, etc., etc. It's a lot. It's easy for things to get off track. To feel exhausted down to your very bones. And when it is time to rest, it's hard to shut off the spinning thoughts about the future, money, climate change, health issues, past wounds....you name it. No matter your particular unique journey, life can be filled with challenges.

I work with adolescents and adults. I focus on helping people change unhappy patterns in their lives and find relief from suffering. I primarily utilize a psychodynamic approach which means helping clients gain insight into the dynamics of maladaptive patterns that have evolved in their lives. Gaining insight is often the first step, or the foundation, of positive change. I also do EMDR and parts work to facilitate recovery from trauma.

*Practice is full.* Do you find yourself repeating the same dysfunctional patterns in relationships? Or maybe you feel like you're on high alert much of the time, waiting for something bad to happen? Maybe you've been reaching for a glass of wine just to help you sleep at night? Wounds from the past - divorce, abuse, loss, bullying, etc.- stick around, causing problems long after the events have ended. Often, we don't even realize the effect that trauma has on us. And if left untreated, these unwanted patterns will continue.

All people are one of a kind, but here's where we're all alike: All of us come from a personal history and context: A past that got us through to where we are now. And "Right Now" is where all the choices and opportunities are. Some things we may want to change, other things we may choose to accept as they are. Therapy can be helpful in understanding yourself well enough to know which is which. And therapy can offer some things you may need to go forward with your choices: Hope, perspective and someone who believes in you while you practice believing in yourself.

My ideal client is someone who has realized they keep tripping over the same life problem or unpleasant situation. This individual wants to find out how to do something different to create a positive change in their life.This discovery process might involve some testing, or might be stand alone therapy, but will require effort from both of us. I enjoy a challenge and expect the therapy process to be collaborative whether struggling with a life change, starting over, or dealing with a loss. Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and sexual abuse are areas of experience, utilizing individual or group format.

How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
