About
Working with people overwhelmed by trauma, depressed, anxious, or simply stuck, is a passion of mine. Why? Because I have found in both my own life & professional experience that, paradoxically, these painful areas of our life can offer us opportunity for personal growth and understanding ourselves. To be clear, this is not easy, and takes lots of courage. It's a journey, a practice, which leads to self-compassion & a healthy way to live authentically in the world. In a relationship of trust, I will support & challenge you to find your own inner wisdom, your own answers to wholehearted living. A lot of my work is with trauma survivors. I've been privileged to sit w/each client as they muster courage to face fears, trust people again, often grappling with addictions or old learned patterns. W/compassion, I encourage clients to begin writing a new story for their life. I also work with couples, sometimes co-facilitating with my colleague, Bryan Plucar, PsyD. We believe it works well. I (or we) provide a safe place to examine the relationship, exploring family-of-origin issues, willingness to be vulnerable, communication skills, & healthy boundaries - a pathway toward connection & intimacy.
