Professional Statement:
Because sometimes... you need more than a friend....
As a feminist therapist I am committed to helping women learn to become more empowered, grow, and learn to find their inner wisdom. I encourage women to listen to their inner voice and instincts, learn to become grounded in their bodies and inner spirit, and live the most authentic and empowered lives they can.
I have over 20 years experience in helping women, adolescents, couples and families! I specialize in feminist therapy and in helping survivors of trauma, childhood abuse, sexual abuse/assault, rape, incest, neglect, victims of crimes and other forms of traumatic experiences. I am a board certified expert in the treatment of traumatic stress and am specially trained in the treatment of trauma and dissociation, PTSD, childhood abuse and other trauma related problems.
I also have over 20 years experience in working with adolescents, LGBT issues, sexual and gender identity issues and other issues related to teen and LGBT lives. I work with coming out issues, identity issues, relationships, family issues, work place concerns, friendships, spirituality, and life transitions.
Out of crisis comes opportunity. I think this is why I became a trauma expert. Life crisis brings the opportunity for growth, change and a deeper love for and understanding of life if you are willing to go through the struggle of healing emotional pain. I offer a warm, sensitive, supportive and empathetic approach to therapy. I want to help you grow and overcome the challenges and opportunities that life has thrown your way!
I am trained in EMDR, TAT, energy psychology, feminism and feminist therapy, sandplay, creative therapies and DNMS. I use a combination approach of Object Relations, talk therapy, creative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, ego state therapy, DBT therapy, and feminist therapy. I love what I do and love helping people grow and thrive. I love life and enjoy seeing women develop hope again!
