Specializing in the Treatment of Trauma and PTSD

I am a certified level-3 trained Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist specializing in the field of trauma recovery.  My primary approach to trauma treatment is based on the principles of the IFS model. My studies in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Sensori-Motor Psychotherapy (SP) allow me to enhance the IFS model with a somatic component to provide a comprehensive mind-body approach to trauma treatment.

My practice focuses on helping those with PTSD and other forms of traumatic stress resulting from:

• Developmental trauma of childhood (attachment injury)
• Complex trauma in childhood (abuse and/or neglect)
• Single event trauma
• Complex trauma in Adults
• Medical trauma

Many who come to me for treatment have not responded to more traditional forms of psychotherapy – such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR and talk therapy -- and have found this approach to be the help they were seeking.  I also enjoy working with other therapists who wish to learn more about the IFS model by doing their own personal work. 

All psychotherapy sessions are now only online via a HIPPA-compliant Zoom video platform.  As a licensed California physician, I can only offer treatment to those who reside in the state of California.
