In my 20+ years of experience as a therapist, clinical supervisor, researcher, educator and writer on complex trauma, I have come to believe that we are shaped as much by the good things that went missing from our lives as the bad things that happened to us. My clients have often endured severe abuse, neglect, oppression, and other forms of life adversity. They have learned to cope and survive in ways that get misunderstood and misdiagnosed, and that can cause profound stigma, shame and social rejection. Their courage and resilience inspires awe. Finding a therapist who can see and accept all parts of them is one key to recovery.

Research has shown that people don't learn from people they don't like. Effective therapy evolves if the person seeking help likes the helper and experiences the helper as empathic, humble, competent, humorous and caring. Therapy is a respectful, mutually active endeavor between the helper and the patient in which the client feels comfortable, safe, and confident. Constructive therapy gives clients hope: that they will experience increasing well-being; that they will enhance their quality of life; that their social relationships will improve; and they will feel greater congruence between their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

Counselor

I bring a rich history of life experiences. Life is like a 3-legged stool. Finding balance today in life can be a struggle but not impossible. I believe by looking at the person/family as a whole. Explore the connections between the biological (your physical self), the psychological (your thought process), and the sociological (your interactions with others). Together these processes brings balance.

I am here to help you! You may be feeling overwhelmed or are having difficulty reflecting back on things that have happened to you in the past. You might find yourself feeling distracted and stuck and that it has started to affect your relationships, your job, your sleep, everything! You may be thinking, "Can therapy really help me? Talking to a complete stranger?" I believe sometimes people simply need a little help to learn better coping tools to manage stress and whatever else life might throw their way. Unfortunately, we are not often taught these tools growing up.

I work with adults and couples who are impacted by individual or shared trauma. My focus is on how survivors have managed in the face of the many challenges associated with enduring past and current experiences of trauma, loss, and other forms of adversity, including impaired early caregiving and compromised development, chronic health issues, relationship difficulties, risk-taking behaviors, and struggles with self-worth and meaning-making. Within this complex trauma context, I focus on the unique self that has survived, identify and build strengths, and cast light upon the inherent resiliency of the human spirit.
