I have taken a trauma-informed approach to my work since I began seeing clients in 2013. I have worked as a psychotherapist for 9 years in various settings and with diverse populations. I have provided intensive behavioral services for children with autism, inpatient treatment and support groups for individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction and in-home community mental health services for children and families effected by trauma. In private practice, I work with individuals struggling with a variety of issues, including trauma and PTSD. In all of these settings I have seen my work through a trauma-sensitive lens and no matter the diagnosis or presenting issue, always see any attachment disruptions or unprocessed trauma as important elements to consider in every case. I utilize a somatic approach that blends mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems.
