About
I approach people with an understanding that their storyline is unique and often difficult to share with another. Indeed, sometimes there are no words for our deepest pains. I aim to create a space that supports self-exploration and pathways for desired change, even in challenging circumstances. While my broad scope of clinical and teaching experiences provide me with creative ways of helping others, I value the collaborative nature of the therapeutic process. Together we seek understanding of the pain, fear, or unhappiness, making changes that will shift life toward security, joy, and fulfillment. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience. My doctoral training centered on hospital-based treatment settings. Then I focused on eating disorders and perinatal psychology. This led to rigorous study of complex trauma and PTSD over the past decade. I have expertise in treating those with complex trauma and attachment disorders. I am an adjunct faculty at The Michigan School, where I was a core faculty from 2010-2021. I offer a Trauma Consultation and Training Group for therapists; early career and advanced study. The groups meet biweekly for 10 sessions and then open to new members if space permits. I also supervise two postdoctoral psychologists in my practice.
