Something I'm passionate about is helping people who have been through very difficult things - trauma, illness, grief - not only survive those things but use them to learn and grow. Unresolved trauma and grief play a huge part in depression and substance abuse among other things. Clients tell me they appreciate my combination of an authentic, warm, low-key style with my ability to think through issues creatively and incisively getting right to the heart of what is important. These things together with being trained in evidence-based modalities like EMDR and CBT often help clients reach a place of more peace, freedom, and empowerment in life. I'm very medically literate and used to work in a neuroscience research lab @ Duke with family members and friends who are physicians.
