I specialize in helping people overcome complex and “difficult-to-treat” problems. Clients often come to therapy feeling "stuck" and wanting more freedom in their choices. I work with clients to help identify and bring light to the strategies that we often use to avoid our feelings and keep us locked in patterns we want to shift.

Unexpected life events and trauma can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from ourselves and the life we’re trying to build. Even after learning important skills in therapy like recognizing anxious thoughts or using grounding techniques you continue to struggle in the same ways, which might be discouraging. You may understand why you feel this way, and still, the patterns persist. I work with adults who are experienced therapy goers but are looking for a deeper approach. My clients are often thoughtful and self-aware, but find that insight alone hasn’t led to lasting change.

I take Kaiser! You've done a bunch of personal growth work. You know the relief of being with those who listen from the heart and help you explore the shadow. Those who stay present with you as you gently press into and navigate the discomfort, where the healing lies.
Another layer of old patterns has emerged. You can feel it nudging you, sometimes in a big way. It’s time to lean into the next step. You want to deepen your internal connection, trust yourself and meet your world with full integrity, giving from your heart, your truth. It’s a bold act of love and demonstration of strength to get what you need to be the change.

I work with people who feel disconnected from themselves due to trauma. You might show up for others but struggle to do the same for yourself. Maybe you’re great at identifying emotions but have trouble actually feeling them. Your inner voice might be harsh, making you feel like your own worst enemy. If this resonates, you’re likely seeking more than just talk therapy—you want deeper self-exploration and methods that help you reconnect with yourself. My approach moves beyond surface-level work, helping you process, integrate, and heal in a meaningful way.

Sexual abuse, early childhood trauma, compulsive eating and relationships are areas I specialize in.
My work focuses on nurturing the abandoned and neglected inner child using Somatic Experiencing and psychedelics (if desired) to understand coping strategies and protective mechanisms that keep you stuck, preventing you from being the fabulous being you are. The work with partnerships is inspired by PACT, EFT and largely informed by attachment and IFS.

I believe that given the safety, support, and tools, we all have an innate capacity to heal and live full lives. Our brains and bodies are designed for this purpose, and my goal as a therapist is to empower clients through relational and body-based treatments to rebuild the relationship with themselves and others. I work with clients seeking support to heal from experiences of trauma, abuse, and loss, as well as those managing burnout, anxiety, and depression. I specialize in treating trauma-related disorders, including those developed following sexual and intimate partner violence, childhood abuse, and traumatic loss.

How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
