Education and Training
I am a psychotherapist in private practice specializing in trauma therapy for individuals and couples. I am certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, trained in Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and state certified (CA) in sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking intervention. I received an MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, an MBA from the University of Minnesota, and a BA from Brown University. In addition to private practice, I have worked at Peace Over Violence and The Mariposa Center.
Therapeutic Approach
I offer a range of therapeutic approaches that are individualized to meet each client’s needs. We work together to build resilience, reduce suffering, affect positive behavioral changes, and learn new, healthy coping skills.
My Beliefs
No one can truly heal alone. Shame left unattended transforms from an emotion into a painful identity. Shame withers in the presence of compassion and empathy. Your worst experiences should not define your present or dictate your future.
