Great to meet you!

I am Certified in EMDR and a Brainspotting Practitioner who have been practicing as a licensed clinical social worker for over 13 years. My passion is helping others overcome trauma by healing their wounded child parts due to my own healing journey. As a child, I was touched inappropriately, exposed to domestic violence in the home, and later experienced the death of my then 3 years-old son. Overcoming my trauma wasn't easy but possible.

After multiple traumatic experiences, I learned how to manage symptoms through CBT and grief counseling, but I never truly healed from my trauma until receiving EMDR. That transformative experience showed me the power of becoming unstuck, healing, and moving forward as the best version of myself. I now feel empowered to help others overcome their own traumatic past and healing their wounded child parts by using EMDR and Brainspotting that wasn't initially available to me but now available and accessible to others.

My approach to therapy

I am eclectic and utilize various treatment modalities. However, I mostly utilize EMDR, Brainspotting, and Mindfulness.

What you can expect from me

Client will be able to respond to stressful situations from their most adult part of self.
