Trauma comes in many different forms and can occur in a variety of ways and at any stage of life. My specialty practice focuses on all forms of trauma, including physical and emotional abuse and neglect, sexual abuse and exploitation, spiritual and religious abuse, educational abuse and neglect, financial exploitation, environmental traumas including vehicular accidents and natural disasters as well as complex grief and loss. 

I am certified in the IFS as well as EMDR modalities, both empirically proven therapy models designed to help resolve trauma and PTSD symptoms. I am also trained in Brainspotting which clients are experiencing as refreshingly helpful!

IFS and EMDR as well as Brainspotting are psychotherapy models that reach for deeper exploration, understanding and resolution of disturbing material. Unlike traditional ‘Talk Therapy’ EMDR, IFS and Brainspotting seek to journey toward the root underlying causes of distress rather than simply being heard and validated with compassion.  EMDR, IFS and Brainspotting achieve these goals only via different paths of clinical protocol.  I often use both models in the same session. Some clients prefer one specific model and many appreciate the combination of two or even all three models.
