Trauma: Relationship trauma, abuse and neglect
Relational trauma, neglect, and abuse are all betrayals that leave lasting marks. Regaining trust and repairing how we work in relationships today can be a delicate process requiring a patient, knowledgable professional. Alongside serving hundreds of survivors of the effects of trauma, I dedicated a year of studying the treatment of traumatic stress and its treatment culminating in the publishing of my research. I have also been one of the few clinicians trained in the Adult Attachment Repair Model, a unique approach to healing early relationship ruptures and unmet needs from primary childhood caregivers developed by Peter Cummings LCSW.
I have been certified in Expressive Arts Therapy and often reference the visual and performing arts to talk about our most painful issues since an image or music can often uncover perspectives that are hard to express in words. I received my undergraduate degree from Berklee College of Music and as a songwriter, I know it can often be easier to touch upon our most sensitive struggles in a symbol or metaphor rather than on plain terms.
My psychotherapeutic approach may help the associated symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD and C-PTSD), Acute Stress Disorder, and Panic/Anxiety Disorders.
I also work with many survivors of physical, mental, emotional, and sexual abuse.
When you come for your first session, we will meet for a comprehensive assessment. Once I have a fuller picture of your symptoms, together we can collaborate to design a course of treatment that best suits your needs.
