Outside the office
Lately I've been hiking, cooking badly, and reading anything about the neuroscience of memory.

My approach
Trauma lives in the body as much as the mind, and talk alone often isn't enough to reach it. I use EMDR and somatic experiencing because they work with how trauma is actually stored, not just how we describe it. That said, I spend real time in early sessions building trust and understanding your history before we go anywhere near processing. I work with teens, adults, and couples, and I adjust my style significantly depending on who I'm working with. Couples work is a different animal entirely, and I enjoy it.
Working with teens
I've worked with adolescents for most of my career. Teenagers are often more self-aware than they get credit for, and they respond well when they're treated as capable of doing real work. I involve parents in a structured way: not as co-therapists, but as people who need to understand what's happening and how to support it. If a teen is resistant to starting therapy, a conversation with me first (without them) can be a useful place to begin.
