I love what I do and care deeply about the people I work with!

 Over more than 30 years of supporting individuals through pain, trauma, and major life disruptions, I have been touched and even inspired by people’s strength and capacity for resilience. My work is trauma-informed, which means we move at a pace that prioritizes safety, and the realities of daily life — including the very basic work of coping and getting through the day. We partner together to make sense of experiences , gradually developing new meanings, grounding, and hope.  I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches — including psychodynamic, attachment-based, relational, somatic & body work, meaning-centered, mindfulness-informed, and systems perspectives — and adapt the work to each person’s needs, personality, and current circumstances. People are complex, and therapy is most effective when it remains flexible and responsive rather than confined to a single model. At the heart of my approach is authentic compassion and commitment to the people I work with. I truly believe in the ability to heal and ultimately thrive in ones life regardless of the past trauma and extreme challenges.
