I love working with people of all cultures who have histories of trauma and addiction and who want to make pivotal breakthroughs in recovery. I work best with patients who engage honestly, directly and courageously; welcome challenges; and want to thrive. We discover and nurture strengths borne of struggle. I specialize in culturally responsive group treatment of trauma and addiction, relationship issues, family dynamics and multigenerational legacies. I empower patients; we tap into their insight, intellect, creativity and spontaneity. I enthusiastically welcome Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other People of Color to my practice.
I help patients overcome intimacy struggles, heal and deepen relationships, and enrich their lives. My resiliency-based treatment approach emphasizes the authenticity between patient and therapist as a model for other healthy relationships. I provide a therapeutic context for patients to grow while creating robust recovery and social networks.
I facilitate men's, women's, mixed gender and couples' groups. I also offer intensives to help individuals and families delve into challenging, conflictual issues. I present nationally and internationally on topics related to addictions, trauma, anger/aggression, cultural issues, eating disorders, group psychotherapy, and professional issues such as compassion fatigue.

Groups
Trauma and Addiction Recovery Groups
My 17 trauma-focused psychotherapy groups provide therapeutic spaces to experience the transformative power of healing in community. Together, members identify and unpack deep attachment wounds, change self-destructive behavioral patterns, and enrich their lives. My model is strength- and resiliency-based. I am supportive and directive, compassionate and challenging, process-oriented, and goal-oriented. I approach therapy with warmth, authenticity, and depth of concern for my patients' total well-being. I encourage transparency, speakability, and exploration of power dynamics as they play out in group and society.
