I am certified in Advanced Mindfulness, a practitioner of Tai Chi, and certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Integrative Medicine and Nutrition for the treatment of Complex PTSD and Trauma. I implement self-compassion and shame resiliency skills borrowed from Brene Brown, Ph.D and Kristen Neff, Ph.D. In the past I worked for UCLA’s FOCUS Project with the military and taught resiliency skills to the military while in Okinawa, Japan.
I believe everyone can benefit from skills training to enhance our ability to manage strong emotions and interpersonal interactions. I am trained in various modalities and am happy to teach/share these skills and ideas with you.
I use nature and body movement as well as creative artsI also utilize the whole family system in treatment when available and applicable (including pets of all kinds, dogs, cats, horses, lizards, rats, snakes, just to name a few who have been present in a client's session).
to tailor therapy to my client’s needs.
