I am a certified level-3 trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist specializing in the field of trauma recovery.  My primary approach to trauma treatment is based on the principles of the IFS model. My studies in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Sensori-Motor Psychotherapy (SP) allow me to enhance the IFS model with a somatic component to provide a comprehensive mind-body approach to trauma treatment.

My practice focuses on helping those with:

• PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
• Attachment Trauma (Developmental trauma of childhood)
• Complex trauma in childhood
• Complex trauma as adult 
• Single event trauma (shock trauma)
• Medical trauma
• Trauma's influence on health & illness
• Integration sessions for those undergoing Ketamine therapy
• 
  

Many who come to me have not responded to other forms of psychotherapy – such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR and Talk Therapy -- and have found the IFS "parts" approach to be the help they were seeking. 

I also enjoy working with OTHER THERAPISTS who wish to learn more about the IFS model by doing their own personal work, as well as those seeking PERSONAL GROWTH.

All psychotherapy sessions are online via a HIPPA-compliant Zoom video platform.
