Specialties
I specialize in working with children, teenagers, and adults who have experienced trauma. Trauma can include a variety of things including physical, emotional, sexual or any other type of abuse, such as being raped or attacked; witnessing or experiencing something terrible such as a car accident or the trauma of combat deployment; military sexual trauma (MST); the death of a loved one; or many other difficult life experiences. I employ evidence-based practices and utilize Attachment Theory (John Bowlby) and Structural Family Therapy (Salvador Minuchin). I work from a family system's approach, which means I prefer you and someone close to you attend therapy together. Change is most effectively reached with the help of those closest to us; our family, whomever they may be. This can sound scary to many people but I see this as the most efficient and resourceful way to create positive, lasting change and healing.
