About
I approach people with an understanding that their storylines are unique and often difficult to share with others. Indeed, sometimes there are no words for our deepest pains. I aim to create a space that supports self-exploration and pathways for desired change, even in challenging circumstances. While my broad scope of clinical and teaching experiences provides me with creative ways of helping others, I value the collaborative nature of the therapeutic process. Together we seek understanding of the pain, fear, or unhappiness, making changes that will shift life toward security, joy, and fulfillment. I am adjunct faculty at UDM and MSP, where I previously held a core faculty position. I have taught extensively on trauma, humanistic and existential psychotherapy, identity formation, and psychopathology. In practice, I specialize in trauma, complex PTSD, dissociation, eating disorders, difficulties related to attachment, and relational psychotherapy.
