I have specialized in working with people who have experienced childhood trauma. 'Trauma' means many things; exposures to emotional, physical or sexual abuse, as well as distress over relationships and and transitions. People with histories of either one-time event traumas, such as divorce, injuries or multiple traumas, can have a very hard time developing a sound sense of themselves. Building this sense of self is at the core of treatment for people who have had very difficult life challenges. Helping clients to build this solid internal base is my goal as a treating therapist.

You may not have to do it alone though; I could be there with you through this journey. Having a therapist is more than just someone to talk to, it’s someone who can sit with you in the difficult moments in a way that makes sense to you.
