My goal is to help you achieve your goals. Having done this work for almost 30 years the issues that have sadly remained consistent are the high levels of child sexual abuse and adult sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. A significant number of people will have an assault in their lifetime, so you are not alone. My doc dissertation was on sexual trauma, resilience (surviving), & posttraumatic growth (thriving). I am dedicated to all types of trauma and see that people can not only get better but they can choose the life they wish to live, often with help of a therapist and a desire to change. I have been a psychology graduate school professor for many years and I teach and supervise therapists in training about both the art and science of working with clients who have experienced trauma or other difficult life issues. I believe that these experiences have enhanced my abilities as a therapist so I can further support my clients’ needs. Anyone who walks into a therapist’s office has great courage, and trauma survivors and those with difficult life challenges are the strongest people I know. To have suffered in this way and to choose to move forward and continue to grow is awe-inspiring and deserves the highest level of respect from others. Feel free to email me at [email protected]
