MY Philosophy
I love what I do as a psychologist and trauma specialist. My clients want to know they are lovable. I practice from the space of vulnerability as strength and resilience and growth as the potential outcome for our suffering if we are willing to embody that experience fully. I ground my work in empathy and equip myself with as many tools and as much new information and deep reflection as I can. I am seasoned and efficient in my practice. We all must deal with the power of our own vulnerability and learn coping responses that serve us for our and others highest good.
