I am a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst in private practice. I draw upon my training in trauma, psychoanalysis and fine arts to encourage subjective creation of meaning, improved interpersonal relations and the setting/meeting of educational/career/personal goals. I work with adults in individual therapy and in a psychodynamic group for creatives. I specialize in the impact of childhood sexual abuse, undue influence, domestic violence, tragic loss, rape or sexual assault, in addition to issues of anxiety, depression, dissociation, betrayal, trust, grieving, intimacy/sexuality, life transition, multi-culturalism, faith and race.
Using psycho-dynamic, cognitive, and mindfulness approaches that emphasize a co-constructed and safe therapeutic environment, common themes that emerge are fear of uncertainty, confrontation, emotional exposure, and isolation. I offer grounding techniques, and through use of play and attention to language encourage development of subjective expression.
I have worked extensively with former members of cults; those born and raised in cults; and families/friends of adult loved ones in cults within the context of trauma. I was invited to guest edit a special issue of "Cultic Studies Review" entitled "The Last Draw - Cults and Creativity."

Groups
Psychodynamic Group for Creatives
This group explores the psychodynamic impact of trauma - as well as past and present struggles in general - on one's identity as a creative. This includes those whose creativity was suppressed while in a cult. This group in combination with long term individual psychodynamic therapy (a requirement), hopes to enhance expression of subjective voice in art and life.
