My Specialties
Support for Every Chapter of Your Journey
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. My specialties reflect the areas where I can walk alongside you with compassion, expertise, and care.
Often the challenges we experience in adulthood are rooted in unmet childhood needs such as:
Bereavement
Bereavement as a child or young adult.
Traumatized Parents
Growing up with traumatized parents (combat veterans, survivors of war, immigrants, abandoned, etc.).
Young-Onset Dementia
Growing up with a parent with a young onset dementia (Frontotemporal
Dementia or "FTD*).
Family Illness or Addiction
Early years focused on a parent or close family member who was addicted, had severe mental illness, or a chronic physical illness.
Feeling Unseen in Childhood
Growing up feeling different, unseen, or misunderstood.
"Othered"
Neglect or Abuse
Experiencing childhood neglect, physical or
emotional abuse.
We may be a good fit if:
-
You know that something has to change.
-
Have gone as far as you can with will power and talk therapy.
-
Believe in the power of human-to-human connection.
-
You are curious about how to incorporate the wisdom of your body into your healing.
-
You want to live according to your own values instead of just "performing" for others.
-
Are ready to reclaim your joy after childhood abuse, neglect or abandonment.
You don't have to carry this alone.
How I work:
While there is no silver bullet treatment for complex trauma and grief, I draw on the wisdom of several key modalities because they have helped so many of my clients. All of the following modalities are effective treatments for trauma. They integrate mind, body, and spirit into the healing process, in a way that traditional talk therapy does not.
EMDR Therapy
Helps the brain reprocess traumatic memories so they become less emotionally overwhelming.

Healing is about more than talking.
It's about transforming
By integrating the mind, body, emotions, and nervous system healing becomes more than insight-it becomes lasting change.
