I primarily provide individual therapy to adults who wish to address acute or long-term trauma, specifically childhood sexual abuse/other developmental trauma but interpersonal stressors that occur in adulthood as well. I also work with clients on other family of origin concerns and boundary setting in all areas of their lives. I approach each client through a developmental lens, understanding that concerns manifest differently depending on one's age and developmental stage at the time of the trauma as well as at the time of treatment. I also am available to work with parents who wish to their children in a trauma-informed way.
I would be happy to find time to chat briefly over the phone to see if I am a good fit for what you are looking for, and if not, provide referrals.

In therapy, I begin with psychoeducation, feeling identification, exploration of interpersonal patterns, distress tolerance, and stress-reduction skills before gently helping the client explore their trauma history. A similar foundation is also crafted, though sometimes more briefly, before addressing other concerns, such as family boundaries and depressive/anxiety symptoms
