If you'd like to be free from relational trauma, I would love to help you. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, emotional and narcissistic abuse, Trauma/PTSD, ACA / ACoA recovery for adult children of alcoholics and family dysfunction and Personality Disorders. I've worked in substance abuse recovery for 8 years and led a group for adults with ADHD with the national organization CHADD for 3 years. I work with abuse survivors and I lead an ongoing group for recovery from gaslighting, narcissistic and emotional abuse, betrayal trauma, and intimate partner violence. If you're going through hell, keep going.
Treatment will focus on areas of instability and address deficiencies in executive and relational functioning. Trauma work is a layered process. Modality will depend on your goals and preparation. I draw from EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy, prolonged exposure, and IFS. I work with couples using Gottman, RLT & IFIO.
I practice in the state of Pennsylvania and Delaware. I am NOT in network with any insurance providers, but I can issue a superbill for reimbursement if you have out of network benefits. I am also a Victims Compensation ( VCAP ) provider for victims of abuse and sexual assault in the state of Pennsylvania.
