I specialize in trauma-informed therapies. My approach is rooted in understanding how each person learned to get their needs met in the world — and how those patterns may no longer be serving them. I use the word "trauma" broadly, to mean any experience that has significantly reshaped the way our nervous system interacts with the world and influences our emotions and behaviors. I also have a deep passion for supporting people navigating addictive behaviors, which are among the most common ways people cope with overwhelming — and often under-recognized — stress.
