I specialize in working with trauma, complex trauma, grief and dissociative disorders with youth and adults. In the course of therapy i may employ a variety of integrative therapeutic approaches and modalities including psychodynamic, ego-state/parts work, somatic/body-based approaches, Deep Brain Reorienting, EMDR, Havening Techniques, mindfulness and compassion-based approaches, hypnosis, and expressive arts therapy.

All of us face challenges to our wellness, resilience and ability to cope at various times in our lives. Stress, loss, change and sometimes the downstream effects of early life adversity can press in on our present-day life in a way that calls for attention, care and deeper understanding.  


I see it as an act of strength and wisdom to seek professional support to assist in finding our way through such difficulties. 


All people have innate strengths, gifts and creativity, and can benefit from an empathic, curious, and safe therapeutic relationship through which to explore the material of their life. I am passionate about supporting people of all ages living through adversity, grief and trauma to deepen their relationship to the wisdom within, and to grow and give voice to their experiences.

  • trauma, complex trauma and dissociative disorders
