My main specialty is working with clients who have experienced any type of trauma, including sexual abuse and assault and incest, as well as working through issues that can develop when trying to cope with the trauma, including various addictions such as sex and love addiction, health problems, relationship and sexual difficulties, anxiety, depression, and others. I have an affinity with LGBTQ clients, and have supported them through the many challenges that they face, including transitioning, coming out, discrimination, identity development, sexuality, relationship difficulties, and others.
My approach is eclectic, using different techniques and theories to find what works for you, with a main focus on the therapeutic relationship, building trust, safety, and comfort. I am also a yoga teacher, with a holistic approach to healing, seeing the person as not just a body or mind, but also as a heart, soul, and spirit, all making up the whole being.
My hope is that through our work together, you will feel a growing sense of safety, understanding and compassion for self. We will work together to understand what is behind unhealthy thoughts and patterns and find ways that work for you to shift them. I look forward to hearing from you!
