In over 25 years of clinical practice, I've found that what keeps individual and couple clients stuck isn't a lack of effort. Most of my clients have worked hard to build better lives and manage difficult symptoms — yet remain caught in the same frustrating patterns. The missing piece is usually personal insight and the right strategies for change, not more willpower.

As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I have extensive experience treating complex trauma and PTSD. I understand how trauma overwhelms our nervous system, interrupting our ability to process and integrate memories in a healthy, adaptive way. My tenure as a therapist has taught me that responses to present day stressors are often correlated to adverse experiences of the past. My practice is committed to partnering with individuals as they navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives by bearing witness to their suffering and serving as a guide to facilitate healing.

Life inevitably involves struggle. The goal of therapy is to understand the source of your current struggles in order to live more fully and effectively. In my experience, life difficulties are either long standing or acute. The enduring difficulties are often the result of underlying patterns that result in feeling stuck, anxious or depressed. These patterns may manifest in relationship problems, parenting difficulties or low self esteem. Acute situations, such as death or divorce, take time to process and can trigger earlier losses. In either situation, the wish to function and feel better is what motivates us to seek therapy.

I am well experienced in dealing with relationship issues, trauma, anxiety, grief, sexual abuse, ACOA, drug and alcohol/12 step recovery, LGBTQ specific issues, and depression.
I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS. Past experiences and family history can sometimes contribute to life struggles.

In our initial phone consultation, we can discuss your general concerns and you can gain a better sense of whether or not I am the right therapist for you.

Sexual Abuse Therapists
How do therapists treat sexual abuse?
A good therapist will be nonjudgmental and possibly demonstrate active listening, repeating back what the client says to show that they have understood. These skills allow people to feel comfortable discussing their traumatic experiences openly. Some important treatment goals are to restore a sense of safety and to rebuild confidence. In addition to working one-on-one with the patient, a therapist might bring in supportive family members to assist the client.
Do you have to talk extensively about sexual abuse in therapy?
Survivors frequently find it difficult to describe what happened to them out loud. They can even still be in a state of denial if the sexual abuse occurred recently. It is important for survivors to acknowledge that what happened isn’t their fault and to challenge and reappraise any unhealthy feelings or thoughts as they arise. Art therapy and play therapy are useful non-verbal means of communication for some survivors.
How long does treatment for sexual abuse take?
Recovery from sexual abuse can be a long and difficult process. Some survivors are able to move on naturally on their own, given time, while others require the guidance of a trained therapist. Therapy needs vary and can range from a few sessions to months or even years. Healing from sexual abuse takes time, and everyone’s journey will look a little different.
Can trauma symptoms caused by sexual abuse come back after treatment?
As occurs in many cases of trauma, survivors of sexual abuse may experience PTSD-like symptoms long after the abuse has ceased or after an initial round of treatment has occurred. In such a case, there is evidence that prolonged exposure therapy is a useful treatment for survivors, and may be more efficacious than supportive counseling alone. While triggers may continue to cause distress, the idea is that, with time and repeated exposure, their power will fade, allowing survivors to move on with their lives.
