My style of working is thoughtful and direct. I am committed to helping people discover and enhance their emotional capacity in order to create more satisfying lives. Through the transformative experience of being deeply understood by another in an authentic, safe and honest relationship, people can transform destructive patterns into more satisfying expressions of self.
I work with people who are struggling with a wide range of concerns which may include: Trauma/PTSD, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, body image and identity issues. I am a Certified First Responder Therapist and an EMDR-trained therapist. I am currently licensed in California, Oregon and Washington DC.
I draw upon a broad theoretical background that includes EMDR, psychoanalytic theory, attachment theory, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, as well as over 30 years of experience in the practices of yoga and art.
