Personal Statement

I work with a variety of people and psychological issues, but the heart of my practice is working with individuals, couples, and families whose traumatic or painful experiences--either recent or past--contribute to their current problems or difficulties. I work with all responses to trauma and am able to assess and help you understand what effect a trauma may have had on you and which condition you might be suffering from. With attention, understanding, acceptance and changes in thought and behavior patterns, healing and recovery is not only possible, but can leave you in a more resilient state.

I work with individuals and couples who have survived traumatic life experiences. A traumatic life experience can leave you with complex emotional issues to deal with. Not all these carry the official label, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). But they all hurt and can hold you back from living your life to the fullest.
