Great to meet you!

I am interested in helping you target trauma and engage in goals meaningful to you.

My approach to therapy

I have worked with several populations, and I engage well with teenagers, young adults and adults. I have an LCSW, and I obtained a Doctor in Social Work to deepen my understanding of the field. I have been engaging patients utilizing EMDR for the past 15 years, so I consider it my primary modality. I have professional certification in and utilize Prolonged Exposure (PE) , Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Written Exposure Therapy (WET), and Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR).

What you can expect from me

I hope to help you address distressing memories you have been dealing with for a long time so that you can redefine your life according to your truest and best nature.
