About
My ideal client is an adult or late teen/young adult, with an interest in improving and transforming their life via therapy. I focus on the whole person, contextualizing presenting problems/diagnoses within the framework of family dynamics, peer relations, trauma history, physical health, and job/school experience. That is, I don't consider it useful to assume that issues arise in a vacuum! The greatest gift my clients give me is their ability to teach me far more than I could possibly teach them. I consider our time in session one of validation, hope, and intense curiosity about my client's lives. I am a "frontline" person interested in holistic approaches in difficult circumstances. I love a diverse caseload but have special expertise in trauma work, relationship issues (co-dependence, setting boundaries, self-esteem), life transitions (especially for women), and late teen/coIlege-aged adults. Specialties: EMDR, Trauma, family systems (internal and external!); adolescent and family; holistic approaches; therapeutic techniques including DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Somatic work, and Trauma-Focused CBT; team player; empathic listening; victim-offender issues; crisis intervention; workplace issues.
