Services
My services include individual, couples, family therapy. I also provide parenting work, consultation, and supervision. I specialize in working with clients who have struggled with addiction, and trauma both developmental and shock trauma. Developmental trauma is repettetive experiences that are often not recognized as traumatic but influence the way we develop relational patterns with others and towards ourselves. The trauma may come in the form of neglect or abuse or an absent parent who has to work or who has been taken ill. These "small T" traumas influence our patterns of being in the world and can feel as if we are high or low and have no control over our lives. Therapy targeting these dysfunctional strategies can help to bring one to an aliveness and move us towards joy of life.
