My focus is on trauma and attachment issues, especially those related to adoption and foster care. I always begin with a thorough assessment that includes assessment the seven domains that may be affected by Complex Trauma. In addition I work extensively with families of teenagers on relationships, family conflicts, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, and school issues.

My style is relaxed, engaging, and collaborative. I am not a “how does that make you feel” clinician.

My approach focuses on helping you use awareness so you can feel more in control. It's not uncommon to have periods when our emotions feel overwhelming or our thoughts won't slow down and then we feel stuck. I help people learn strategies to reduce in-the-moment intensity and to become curious about these patterns of feelings and thoughts. Doing this will allow you to understand them more. Oftentimes these patterns are attempts to try and soothe something or help us in some way. By understanding them, we can develop other methods to meet those same needs as you move forward in your journey toward healing.

Note: I am transitioning to ketamine assisted psychedelic (KAP) and MDMA once that becomes available. I am a master therapist and trainer. I love exploring how people have become distorted from their true nature and lose touch with what matters most to them. The work is to help us all clear the distortions so we can return to who we are: awake, kind, free. I often practice using EMDR, Buddhist Psychology, spiritual practice, exploring the nature of satisfaction/dissatisfaction and the nature of self, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Life in today’s world so often feels like it’s moving too fast. Do you ever feel worn out, frustrated, sad, or anxious? Does your mind endlessly race? Do you struggle to take time for yourself? Maybe you just need an impartial person to talk to? If you’re wrestling with these issues, now might be the right time for therapy. My time in the field has taught me everyone needs therapy at some point in their life. Some of the tools I can use to help are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (in which I've been intensively trained), the Fairytale Model/Progressive Counting (a trauma therapy), as well as just helping people examine how they think.

Worry, sadness, and uncertainty are natural responses to feeling you can't control parts of your life. Often regaining control feels like it requires giving up something else, whether it is time with family and friends, your passions, or last night's sleep. While dark humor, caffeine, and willpower may get you far, you shouldn’t have to give up the best parts of your life to just survive. No matter how you got here, you are the expert on yourself. My responsibility is to create a supportive and attentive space where you can gain perspective and resume growth.

Perhaps you’ve noticed feeling more anxious or depressed lately, but aren’t sure why, or what you can do to feel like yourself again. Perhaps you’re struggling with relationship tensions, feeling stagnant at work or find yourself just more generally in a rut. You may be feeling well overall but want to get a grasp on certain issues in your life. Now might be the right time to break free of those patterns and explore other ways of thinking, feeling and being in the world.
