I have explored the mind-body connection since 1980. I use healing and recovery models of therapy that respect my clients' strength and potential. I specialize in gentle and supportive methods of assisting clients to overcome the recurrent effects of trauma. I have advanced training and experience with mind/body modalities including EMDR to facilitate healing and foster posttraumatic growth. This generally involves helping a client learn to manage the recurrent symptoms of trauma and concurrently address and heal from the cause.
I enjoy working with individual adults and couples from a variety of cultural backgrounds and lifestyles. My understanding of trauma and oppression has been strongly influenced by the movements for social justice. These values inform all aspects of my life including my work.
I am available for letter writing for youth and adults seeking medical treatment to address gender issues.
