All parts are welcome, period. I use an Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens with a body-centered, experiential and practical approach. Nonjudgmental, empathic and fiercely compassionate, I extend a radical welcome to any part that shows up. I am genuinely curious and mindful and hold a gentle persistence in encouraging change. I trust that we have smart bodies and that with collaborative observation and curiosity, we can learn from their wisdom and gain valuable insights for healing. I work with clients as equals to best support desired individual and relational goals.
I have a PhD in clinical psychology, am a licensed psychologist specializing in trauma and sex therapy and have been working with individuals and couples for more than 25 years. I was an Assistant Professor at the UM Program in Human Sexuality for 18 years. I am certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and trained in EMDR and IFS Levels 1 and 2 (for couples).
I love working with individuals and couples, LGBTQIA+ populations, therapists, medical professionals, people with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, childhood trauma, cPTSD, attachment wounds and gender/sexual concerns. I am trans-affirming and the mother of a transgender child (information included with child's permission).
