Do you want to feel safe and secure in your relationships? Do you fight with feelings of low-self worth or negative beliefs about yourself? My clients tend to have a history of complex trauma or developmental trauma that impacts both their relationships with others and their relationship with themselves. I work with uncovering the underlying issues contributing towards present day suffering such as relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and identity development.

Specialties
When working with any kind of trauma, I believe in first helping a client establish both internal and external resources. After establishing resources, we can begin to explore the impact that the trauma has had on a person's present day experience and work towards developing self-compassion.
I help you develop skills to cope with the overwhelming and exhausting experience of anxiety, eventually leading to a life with more ease.
I take a developmental and attachment perspective when treating issues in relationships. I also have training in sex therapy and consider all aspects of a person when looking at intimacy.
