Great to meet you!

Hello! It takes a lot of courage to enter into a therapeutic process and relationship. Thank you for reading my profile and considering me, in your trauma recovery journey. I have a master's in social work and I'm a certified EMDR therapist, specializing in trauma treatment.

My approach to therapy

In addition to being a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), I am also a certified eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and certified anger resolution therapist. I have advanced training to incorporate focused mindfulness treatment techniques and trauma informed yoga practices within the EMDR treatment modality. I utilize a trauma focused and person centered approach with clients to gently begin the work of healing and recovering from the wounds of trauma.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to be treated with dignity and respect, to be valued as an equal partner on their journey to heal and recover. To begin, we will get to know each other and develop a therapeutic relationship so you can feel comfortable to do the work you entered into this process to do. You will learn skills to help you regulate your emotions and nervous system. In this process, you will come to befriend your mind and body and learn to trust yourself.
