ABOUT THE THERAPIST
I am a psychotherapist with experience treating childhood trauma, intergenerational trauma, attachment ruptures and intergenerational trauma, and facilitating relationship repair for parents and children.
I work with adults in childhood trauma recovery groups and in individual therapy and with parents and children in dyadic therapy. Through group therapy and parent-child dyads and individual therapy, I facilitate deep internal healing and relatioship repair. This is achieved by focusing on self-awareness and emotional regulation through experiential work; creating a space where clients can access repressed feelings and past experiences that continue to shape their present.
In connection with hidden parts of themselves, clients move beyond old wounds and step into their adult selves with greater authenticity, connection and fulfillment. In this way I help my clients to heal their personal wounds and to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma.
Childhood trauma recovery, intergenerational trauma recovery and repair, attachment ruptures and repair for parents and children, parenting
Whether I am working with a group, a couple, or parents and a child therapist, my role is to guide my clients toward deep relationship repair and healing. I do this by focusing on emotion and experiential work, creating a space where clients can access repressed feelings and past experiences that continue to shape their present.
My work is centered on fostering emotional safety and attunement, allowing clients to transform painful patterns and build healthier, more secure relationships.
I utilize two therapeutic approaches deeply rooted in emotion and experiential work.
1. The Relationship Recovery Process (RRP) is a group-based approach designed to support individuals in healing from childhood trauma by fosterig connection, emotional processing and relationship repair within a safe,supportive community.
2. Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) focused on healing attachment ruptures between parents and children, using attuned, emotionally rich interactions to rebuild trust and security in the relationship.

TREATMENT APPROACH
Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT)Attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the family's relationships and communication patterns. It is based on the theory that strong and secure attachments between family members are essential for emotional health and well-being. The goal of ABFT is to identify any problems in family relationships, enable family members to become more attuned to each other’s needs, and build a secure bond between them. It also helps family members to practice healthy communication skills, learn effective problem-solving strategies, and build trust within the family.
Family Systems TherapyFamily Systems Therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that emphasizes the importance of understanding how the family functions as a whole, and how individual family members interact and affect one another. It focuses on how family dynamics, such as communication patterns, roles, and power dynamics, shape behavior, and how changing these dynamics can lead to positive change. Family Systems Therapy is a collaborative approach, where the therapist works with the family as a whole to identify and address areas of conflict and distress.
Gottman MethodThe Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy that is designed to help couples strengthen their relationships and resolve conflicts. This method is based upon decades of research on thousands of couples and utilizes an approach that is both structured and collaborative. The method is designed to help couples increase respect, affection, and closeness, break through and resolve conflict, generate greater understanding, and to keep conflict discussions calm. It emphasizes the importance of self-regulation, constructive communication, and creating a safe environment for couples to talk and work through their issues. During sessions, couples work on skills such as active listening and expressing needs and feelings effectively. Couples are also given tools to identify and work through conflicts by using problem-solving techniques and developing strategies to manage emotions and reduce stress.
