My work includes a deep commitment to the well-being of my clients. I work with those who are 19 and older and offer individual as well as group sessions. I understand that repetitive and prolonged stressors affect our mental, emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual selves. In my specialized practice, I support people whose difficult life experiences have resulted in post traumatic and dissociative responses, as well as anxiety and depression. I assist my clients to make the shift from surviving to thriving. I often work experientially in sessions in addition to talking. We'll collaborate on a plan that works for you.
I have experience with PTSD, CPTSD, DID/other dissociative responses, phobias, panic disorder, low self-esteem, perfectionism, people seeking personal growth (identity, personality, relationship issues), neglect, abuse, burnout, grief, loss, compassion fatigue, and adjustment. I particularly enjoy working with adult children of narcissistic parents.
I have specialized training in CBT, ACT, AEDP, EMDR, and EST for trauma & dissociation. I also offer sessions using music & imagery, and Guided Imagery & Music (GIM). I have completed training through the Traumatology Institute, the Boston Trauma Centre, Cape Cod Institute, and the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.

I listen to how people naturally process and to how they are suffering and suggest which kind of therapy I think may work best for them. I often work in a way that integrates more than one approach.
