I believe in a relational, strengths-based approach to therapy. My empathy and warmth helps to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can process and heal. When providing support and counseling to help clients effectively address personal life challenges, my eclectic approach includes psychodynamic cognitive behavioral techniques, behavioral neuroscience, and real-life experiences; with an eye toward how people can use their support system, community resources, mindfulness and newly learned skills to live the kind of life they envision for themselves.
I specialize in the areas of sexual trauma, depression, PTSD, dissociative disorders, conduct disorders, anger, substance use, life transitions, complicated grief, and relational problems. I am passionate about working with individuals, families, and relationships of any kind to help people more wholly connect with themselves and others.
