·LMHCAbout
Welcome! Riverside provides a peaceful, empowering space for those suffering the difficult symptoms of PTSD and trauma-based life difficulties. Therapy works to gently resolve complicating pain, grief and isolation related to complex childhood trauma and life-disrupting events. I have advanced training through The International Society of Trauma and Dissociation, a leading organization in research and development of trauma treatment, to provide excellent services addressing complex symptoms of trauma that complicate healing. My focus includes complex PTSD (multiple traumas), dissociative disorders, and treatment-resistant trauma-based disorders. My practice often serves those who experience life-limiting symptoms of trauma and PTSD, including vocational issues, difficulty with sexual and relational functioning, interpersonal anxiety, avoidance and executive dysfunction. I invite you to call for a 15 minute consultation to see if you might like to pursue treatment individually or through groups. Reach out for details of my Therapeutic Trauma Healing Group program available multiple times throughout the year.
