Licensed since 1994 as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am a wholly interactive psychotherapist. By this I mean that I bring my whole self to our work together. I endeavor to share with candor, my thoughts insights, and reactions, as we collaborate together to uncover your voice, goals and healing. My special interests and areas of expertise include:
• Post-Traumatic Stress Issues, Trauma Resolution
• Attachment Parenting
• Adoption (including Transracial Adoption)
• Alternative Family Issues
• Medical Conditions and Disabilities
• Caring for a Child with Special Needs
• Grief and Loss
• Anxiety
• Adjustment to Life Transitions
• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgendered Issues
I have a background in working with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, creativity blocks, and trauma resolution. My work weaves together an understanding of the body from my many years of experience working in physical therapy and massage therapy, supporting people with disabilities. I have training in EMDR (a form of body-centered trauma resolution work), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and Nonviolent Communication (NVC). I incorporate various body-centered techniques in our work together.
