Currently, I provide therapy to individuals over age 13, couples and families.
The traditional model for therapy is one 50 minute session per week, sometimes clients meet with me every other week or twice a week, as needed, and dependent upon treatment model and client’s presentation.
Trauma Recovery
As a trauma specialist, I have been trained and have experience working with combat veterans, sexual assault survivors, survivors of natural disasters and domestic violence. Many people experience traumatic responses to experiences that they wouldn’t classify as traumatic and therapy can be very helpful to reduce any anxiety or ruminations about negative experiences.
