Through 30 years' experience in university, hospital and outpatient settings, I have developed specializations in Healthy Relationships, Trauma & Abuse, Grief & Loss, Women's Empowerment, Mindful Living, & the College Experience. Trained by a pioneer in complex trauma treatment, I assist survivors regain their sense of security and self. My past career research informs my continuing passion for mentoring women in their multiple roles and across their lifespans. I help individuals, couples & groups manage stress, anxiety, depression, and pain; navigate major life transitions and losses; & repair/strengthen their relationships.
My prior roles as university counselor & administrator provide me unique perspectives from which to support students as they deal with opportunities and crises pre-admission to post-graduation. My style is collaborative; I encourage gentle humor & perspective as we work to free you from unproductive patterns & strengthen you to meet current challenges.
With the therapy relationship as the foundation for our work, I draw upon training in a broad array of treatment interventions, including sensorimotor psychotherapy, EMDR, vagus/nervous system regulation, CBT, & mindfulness. Sensitivity to diverse gender, racial, class, disability, & religious/spiritual identities. 1.5 blks from FrH Metro.

Grieving is a natural process, and individuals experience grief and loss in different ways and on different time tables. It can be helpful to share your experience with others who have been affected by the death of a significant person. Each session in this 6-week workshop series/support group includes dicussion of a particular topic (e.g., facts/myths about grieving, frustration with a lack of understanding/social support from others, changing life roles after a death, cultural and spiritual aspects of grief, traumatic grief), a coping strategy, and sharing of resources. Time will be based on members’ availability.
