One of the tasks of adulthood is to grow younger again, but this time with courage, to stand in the unknown, to walk out onto a new frontier, to follow what you love at last.

Psychotherapy for Adults Healing from Developmental Trauma
You've done the work. You've tried to understand your past. You may have had years of therapy. And yet something at the core still feels unresolved — a belief about yourself that won't let go, a pattern you can see but can't seem to change, a feeling that who you really are has been buried under who you had to become to survive.
I work with adults who carry developmental trauma — the kind that comes not from a single event but from growing up in a household where your true self wasn't seen, valued, or safe. My approach is experiential, relational, and direct. I don't just help you understand your patterns. I help you transform the self-condemning meanings that keep them in place.
I practice Core Self Reclamation Therapy (CSRT), a model I helped develop with SueAnne Piliero, Ph.D. It combines parts work, the neuroscience of memory reconsolidation, and a relational stance we call Fierce Love — the therapist's active, boundaried, unwavering commitment to championing who you really are.
