Welcome to the search for a sacred healing space with genuine safety and trust. In my 25+ years as a clinical psychologist, I have repeatedly witnessed this truth: taking the risk to begin a therapeutic relationship is an act of both bravery and self-compassion. Therapy can and should be empowering and transformative. In my work I seek a balance of gentleness, nurture and challenge with those who entrust me with their stories; my clients have shown me that deep change is possible. My specialties include complex trauma, women's sexuality, spirituality & anxiety disorders. As my clients learn to safely attend to and care for their own bodies and stories, they can re-parent wounded parts of self and experience powerful post-traumatic growth. I draw upon therapeutic interventions that integrate a mind-body connection, including EMDR, mindfulness, CBT, Internal Family Systems, and interpersonal & emotional regulation skills. I lead the Southeast division of the Complex Trauma Treatment Center (CTTC), which is overseen and supervised by nationally recognized leaders in the field of complex traumatic stress. I offer remote services in all PSYPACT states so clients are able to access specialized treatment regardless of location, as well as in-person intensives.
