My specialty is in working with people who have, or suspect they have, a personality disorder, or those who have lived in close proximity with someone that they suspect may have a personality disorder. These long-term maladaptive patterns are difficult to see beyond, and many people feel hopeless in pursuing treatment for them. I have found that change and growth can happen for anyone. All that's needed is a willingness to look at the places inside of ourselves where we hide from our pain, and a desire to try something new, even if it may feel intimidating.

Throughout my career I have enjoyed working as a psychologist delivering counseling, consultation and assessment services. I consider it a privilege to be invited into an individual's world at a time of need and work hard to build a trusting alliance with each person. I listen to my clients and engage them around the unique stories they share so we can set goals and a treatment plan that is personally tailored to each individual and/or couple. My approach is based on years of experience and a solid theoretical foundation. It is a relational one such that I use our therapeutic connection to facilitate change.

I specialize in dissociation and dissociative disorders, complex trauma, and attachment & developmental trauma, most notably in medical, sexual, and religious trauma and abuse. My other specialties include abuse, domestic violence, shame, grief, spirituality, and sexuality, including working with folks who have committed acts of sexual violence.

Every day, I sit with women just like you. Women who are struggling. Women who are trying to cope with intense grief, devastating pregnancy loss, the roller coaster of infertility, the anxiety of pregnancy after a loss experience and the challenges of the NICU experience. Every day I support individuals who are managing difficult relationships and trying to cope with overwhelming life transitions.

Do you find yourself preoccupied, unable to sleep well, or moody and irritable? Have you found it more difficult to get out of bed and face the day with motivation and energy? Have you or others noticed that there is more conflict in your interactions? I have been successful in helping many individuals, couples and families clarify and understand their difficulties, identify strategies for change, and collaboratively work together for problem resolution. My approach is engaging, with an emphasis on reflective listening, giving feedback and information, and empathically supporting the difficult but rewarding process of change.

I want to help you claim your best life! Helping people change has been my life's work for over 20 years. I utilize the best practices that help my clients live the life they want....not to avoid the struggle but to embrace it and triumph. While I have studied various forms of therapy..CBT, DBT, Family systems, etc., what I find most fascinating is the ongoing triumph of the human spirit over adversity. I would love to help you utilize the resources you have to successfully meet your life's challenges. "How can I be Helpful?"

Every day gives you choices, sometimes too many choices. Yet, it is “your” choice to make today or tomorrow. Through practicing as a psychotherapist for the past ten years, being a parent, professor, and an athlete I have experienced many people having difficulties making choices. So many of us get stuck with feelings of depression, fear and anxiety that making even one choice becomes too difficult. It helps to have someone assist by listening, guiding and being a support. This role is a role that I feel comfortable with as a therapist. My therapeutic style is best described as engaged & supportive
