About

Often individuals who have experienced on-going internal or relational conflict feel stuck in a cycle that they can't seem to control no matter how many attempts or strategies they try. In the confusion and exhaustion, they give up and give in to hopelessness, low self-worth, shame, anger, and fear. This leads into more alienation, suffering, and despair. Those who want to heal the relationship with themselves and with those they love can rediscover the self that is trapped under all of the pain, anger, and fear. With empathic support, knowledge, and adequate resources, healing is possible. Throughout my career, I have specialized in working with individuals, couples, and families dealing complex trauma, PTSD, early childhood and relational trauma, anger management, high-conflict relationships, substance abuse, anger management, and both DCPP and/or court-involved clients.
