She loves dogs and gardens and all things sentient I love what I do as a psychologist and trauma specialist. Trauma clients and all humans want to feel safe and understood in the presence of great vulnerability; they want to be listened to and heard and they seek the tenderness and forgiveness of their own selves in the process of healing. My clients want to know they are lovable. I practice from the space of vulnerability as strength and resilience as the potential outcome for our suffering. I ground my work in empathy and equip myself with as many tools and as much new information and deep reflection as I can. I am seasoned and efficient in my practice.
