I know that starting this process can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Using warmth, empathy, direct feedback and skill building I can help you more fully understand yourself and your relationships and therefore feel empowered to start living the life you want to live. While it is important to minimize daily struggles that get in the way of being fully present in your life and relationships, I firmly believe that healing comes from exploring how our past experiences have affected the ways in which we interpret and interact with our world in the present.
I specialize in developmental/relational trauma (very difficult childhoods, parents who struggled with mental/physical health issues, etc.), sexual abuse, women's issues (infertility, unhealthy relationship patterns, poor self-image, postpartum issues, etc.) and difficulties navigating life transitions. I'm also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCT)
I utilize an integrative approach, grounded in psychodynamic theory, and pull from solution-focused techniques using CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness to help provide more immediate relief. I also provide supervision for graduate students, postdocs and early career therapists, as well as consultation for therapists seeking guidance on treating complex trauma.
