Great to meet you!

As a clinician for over 35 years I bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and compassion to the therapeutic relationship. I specialize in Trauma/PTSD, Addictions, Mood disorders and relationship issues. I have extensive training in EMDR, Somatic processing, Imago therapy, CBT and Internal family systems

My approach to therapy

I provide a safe and nurturing environment where you can feel safe and comfortable discussing your feelings and patterns of behavior. We will then collaborate on a plan of action to address these concerns. I utilize a host of techniques and approaches including Psychodynamic, Interpersonal, Trauma focused, CBT. No one size fits all so the evaluation process is crucial in determining the most optimal approach for each client.

What you can expect from me

The goal is healing and a client can expect to feel respected, safe and hopeful.
