My Approach to Helping

I believe that every person is resilient and has the capacity toovercome life's challenges. We just need a safe environment in which tounderstand and rethink difficult emotional experiences. That safety beginswith respect - knowing that your choices have made sense, based on yourhistory and personality. That safety deepens with the belief that as youknow yourself better, you can make even better choices, feel happier,safer and freer to live a fulfilling life.

More Info About My Practice

We all have moments in life when we feel overwhelmed, frustrated, stressedor hopeless. This can be compounded if you've recently ended an abusive ortoxic relationship or experienced trauma such as childhood abuse, rape,domestic violence or physical/sexual abuse. For many people, theseexperiences create feelings of low self-esteem, depression or anxiety.In addition, they can make it hard to communicate with your own kids and parenteffectively.You don't have to go through this alone. During difficult timeshelp from a compassionate, supportive, non-judgmental person can make allthe difference. My specialties include working with men and women(especially those from different cultural backgrounds) to heal from thewounds of past relationships or childhood trauma.I work with individual adults, adolescents and families to begin to move forward from trauma, whether they are recent events or from the past. In addition, I provide therapy for parents to better understand and communicate with their children.
