Great to meet you!

I am certified in anxiety, depression, and trauma (EMDR). I am also a relationship expert with a PhD in marriage and family therapy and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-S, LICSW). I have over 20 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, groups, and families. Many of my clients choose alternative methods for dealing with anxiety and depression instead of prescription medication. I am also a certified herbalist and a practitioner of yoga. I'm not just EMDR "trained", but also certified with advanced hours in trauma.

My approach to therapy

I am trained in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), CPT (cognitive processing therapy) and I’m a certified facilitator for Prepare/Enrich (marital & premarital). I help couples work through their conflicts and achieve the kind of relationship they desire. I am happily married and the mother of two young adults. I work from a Christian framework.

What you can expect from me

I am a certified Christian sex addiction coach working with both males and females. I developed the "Fierce Self-Esteem" course - an interactive course with over 70 modules, including lectures, assessments, activities, and discussion. I'm licensed in CT, DC, MD, TX, and AZ. My Tik Tok is Self-esteem Dr. and Instagram is Dr. dwan.
