I bring deep commitment, steadiness, and respect to the therapeutic relationships I build with the people I work alongside.

Over more than 30 years of supporting individuals through pain, trauma, and major life disruptions, I have been continually struck by the depth of human resilience and the capacity for meaning, repair, and growth even in the aftermath of profound difficulty.

My work is trauma-informed, which means we move at a pace that prioritizes safety, stability, and the realities of daily life — including the very basic work of coping and getting through the day.
We work collaboratively 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, meaning-centered, mindfulness-informed, and systems perspectives — and thoughtfully integrate these frameworks in response to each person’s needs, personality, cultural and spiritual context, and current life 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 a grounded, compassionate presence and a sustained commitment to careful, ethical, and relationally attuned care.

While healing is never linear or predictable, I hold a steady orientation toward the possibility of greater clarity, integration, and renewed engagement with life — even after significant trauma or long-standing hardship.

My practice also includes professional clinical supervision and consultation for therapists working with trauma, coercive control, and culturally complex clinical contexts, informed by ongoing doctoral research, publishing papers and decades of clinical experience.
