About
We are born striving to prosper and grow. We respond to life experiences in ways that will protect us and allow us to cope with our environments. Often, the coping strategies essential at one point in our lives become ineffective-and even maladaptive-at another part of our lives. The therapeutic process allows us to explore patterns created through life experience, and choose healthier, more adaptive ways of coping and being. I approach my work with empathy, respect, and acceptance, creating a safe, supportive, and confidential environment in which to overcome obstacles-and allow for positive growth and lasting change. I work with adult individuals. Specialty areas include resolution of trauma; treatment of depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder; issues of personal growth and wellness; grief and loss; positive and adaptive communication in relationships with others; and the development of a nurturing and supportive relationship with the self. I use an integrative approach to therapy, emphasizing the relationship between therapist and client and a belief in individuals' ability to achieve their goals. I am trauma informed, utilizing EMDR and other methods of trauma resolution treatment primarily for resolution of trauma and reduction of stress and anxiety.
