Hello! I am a registered Social Worker who has been in practice for over 20 years. Several years ago I was able to become trained as an EMDR clinician, which has shaped my work and my understanding of human functioning immensely. Many of my clients are helping professionals who are looking for an opportunity to better understand their own emotions, experience more consistent moods and emotional regulation, and show up to their personal and professional relationships in the best way possible. I am a skilled trauma and human development expert, incorporating elements of neuroplasticity in my work, with warmth and compassion.
I will offer a highly empathic approach to our work together, and I use cutting edge treatment modalities, including EMDR, Somatic therapy, trauma informed DBT, CBT and ACT, as well as Parts therapies, and, Inner child work. Healing is possible. I provide EMDR to both adults and children, as well as during the emotion/attachment couples work that I offer.
I currently operate a small referral based private practice, and am now able to open my practice to new referrals. My clients are goal directed, and value my research oriented approach. I am a lifelong learner, who is continually updating my skills and approaches, while maintaining a strong, nurturing therapeutic relationship with my clients.

My approach is trauma informed, meaning, to be alive is to have trauma. Most mental health symptoms can be traced to attachment disruption or developmental or situational trauma. Through developing an understanding of this, we can more intentionally manage symptoms and engage healing by addressing the root of the problem. Clients enjoy my conversational approach, as well as targeted strategies.
