I have extensive experience working with survivors of early life trauma. Often, these individuals have kept their traumatic experiences a secret, which they have carried alone through their life. I consider it a privilege to earn their trust and walk the journey with them as they heal and find freedom from the hold their trauma has had on them. I also have significant experience working with clients struggling with family-of-origin issues (past or present dynamics with family-of-origin, or family-of-origin issues impacting other relationships), as well as other attachment issues, interpersonal difficulties, and couples issues. Coping with a person in a client's life with narcissistic personality disorder (or narcissistic traits) is another focus of my practice in which I work with clients who are still in the relationship, as well as those who have ended the relationship but still struggle with the ongoing impact the person had and continues to have on them and their life. I also specialize in the range of anxiety disorders, helping clients find their way through generalized anxiety, panic, phobias (including agoraphobia and social phobia), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (or tendencies) towards more effective, less distressed functioning.
