Welcome. I am a clinician with 23 plus years of clinical practice and extensive experience with a number of somatic therapies. I love my work and welcome clients of all backgrounds. I specialize in working with complex trauma but, generally speaking, my clients seek support with overwhelming emotional states that impact some aspect of their lives. My point of view is that struggle is part of the human experience and does not mean we are flawed. I work collaboratively with my clients' wisdom and strength to find our way towards desired goals. Clinically, I lean "right brain" toward feelings in order to metabolize stuck, negative emotional states. I use AEDP, IFS, EMDR and mindfulness based practices to cultivate safety and untangle past from the present. I shift my ways of working to support each persons uniqueness. See website (below) for published articles and more about my work. Finding a therapist can be daunting. Please know you are welcome to reach out to me for a free 15 minute consultation in which we talk about your goals and I will give you a clear idea of what it would be like to work with me.
