Therapist Overview
I have a broad age range of clients that I treat from preschool to adults. I take a developmental and psychodynamic perspective that examine early life experiences that affect one’s development and current problems. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I examine closely relationship challenges and provide ways to resolve them between parents and children, siblings, adult partners and friends. I also specialize in assessment and treatment of trauma, abuse and dissociation as a result of early and current adverse experiences. I have a dual approach of treating the source of one’s problems and managing current difficulties. My specialty- trauma, abuse and dissociation-has spanned 4 decades of assessing and treating children and adults who have experienced traumatic events. I am the past president of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) and authored the book, “Healing the Fractured child: Diagnosing and Treating Youth with Dissociation.”
