I'm a clinical psychologist with over 30 years experience and a certified sensorimotor psychotherapist. My practice is trauma-informed, relational, and psychodynamic. I specialize in treating complex trauma and PTSD and helping clients adjust to living with a serious medical illness. I strive to help the trauma survivor process their trauma and to address the impact it's had on their life. For clients with a serious medical illness, the aim is to address the profound impact of the illness - not just physically but also emotionally, relationally and spiritually.
I prioritize giving you choice, helping you to feel safe, and setting realistic goals for therapy. I pay attention to what is happening between us because this can be an indicator of what happens in other relationships. I recognize that what happened in your childhood has shaped who you are today. I use mindfulness to facilitate the therapeutic process.
Challenges in life are inevitable. Sometimes they feel insurmountable or you feel ill-equipped to manage them on your own. My goal is to support you to carve out a new and more fulfilling path so that you can live your life to its fullest potential. I draw on my extensive experience as an academic researcher and clinician to support your journey.
