Do you find yourself anxious or struggling with sleep after a recent traumatic event? Do you find it difficult to stop thinking about painful events, no matter how hard you try? Trauma and PTSD can profoundly shape the way we view ourselves and the world. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. But there is hope. If you are ready to make a change, and feel more connected to yourself and others- I can help. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor specializing in EMDR, I work with women and LGBTQIA+ adult individuals to help release the grip of trauma and the past.
I have 7+ years of experience specializing in working with women-identifying and LGBTQIA+ folks who have experienced trauma. I utilize evidence-based Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as my primary treatment modality. Let's work together to restore connection to your body, live in the present again, and let go of limiting beliefs.
It is important to feel comfortable and connected to your therapist for therapy to be helpful. Please send me an email to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you. I provide teletherapy to individuals living in PA and VT through a secure HIPAA compliant platform.

I work with adults who identify as women or members of the LGBTQIA community who have experienced a single-event trauma or chronic on-going trauma, and need relief. Early sessions include coping skill building to help with symptom reduction, and as treatment progresses clients will begin to address the underlying root of their pain leading to transformational change.

I primarily use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy in my practice. EMDR is a research backed therapy modality that is particularly effective in helping clients heal from trauma or painful experiences. It is a more structured therapy, where clients first learn coping skills, and then once fully resourced, go back to past memories and reprocess them to get unstuck.
