Relational and Event Trauma Healing

​Self-Discovery, Self-Growth, Expanding Emotional Capacities

 

Navigating-Empowering Neurodiversity

​​

 

​​​​I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology, with advanced training in Jungian, psychoanalytic-psychodynamic, trauma-informed therapy modalities and combine these with cognitive-behavioral, mind-body mindfulness, and neurodiversity-affirming approaches.

 

Relationships and Relatedness

​

Essential to the work are the expansive and transformative healing qualities of relationships and relatedness — with self, others and the world.

​

Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Emotional Dysregulation, Stress Overwhelm, Relationship Issues

​

My work with clients is eclectic, collaborative, and individually tailored to clients' needs, emotional/cognitive preferences and areas of growth. Along with attention to essential aspects of relationship-building, relationality, and feelings, therapy may include helping heal past trauma, depression, and anxiety through enhancing emotional regulation and interpersonal boundaries, further developing mindfulness/awareness, mind-body/conscious-unconscious connections and processes, self-discovery, increasing self-esteem, confidence, and feeling-oriented insights.

In addition, as an EMDR-trained therapist and trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level 1 (trauma), these therapy modalities may be interwoven into the overall therapy process, depending on clients' goals and needs.

 

Helping Develop Clients' Strengths and Tapping into Clients' Inner Resources

​

Among the central therapeutic elements that make up my work with clients are connecting to one's inner resources of personal sense of narrative and meaningfulness, mind-body connection, dreams, imagination, intuition, creative processes, executive functioning, and, perhaps most importantly, one's own inner wisdom.

​​

Self-discovery, Self-Acceptance, Self-Esteem & Confidence

​
In all my work, I am guided by an approach that is relational, empathic, integrative, flexible and adaptive — grounded in deep listening, safe dialogue and exploration, holistic psychological insight, and regard to lived experiences — all in the service of clients' self-growth, self-discovery, enriched relationships, achievement, and emotional feeling-oriented creative expression.

Our Digital Age and Challenging Social/Interpersonal Relationships

My doctoral research explored how people relate to intelligent technologies and AI and possible effects on human-to-human relationships and relatedness — a theme that continues to inform my clinical, consulting, and research work.​​​​​​​​
