I am an EMDR-trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping clients heal from and cope with a wide range of mental health symptoms, especially those attributable to anxiety, trauma, and depression. With over six years of hands-on experience in the field, I have built upon my skills in order to provide care that is both person-centered and trauma-informed. It is my commitment to help my clients learn, heal, and thrive!
I specialize in treating clients who have a history of trauma by utilizing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. From EMDR, clients have been able to heal from symptoms of trauma and experience positive changes to the ways that they think of themselves, others, and the world around them.
If you are interested in addressing any of the mental health concerns mentioned above, please reach out to me. If you are unsure if my services are right for you, I encourage you to reach out to schedule an appointment anyway, so that we can decide together if our working together feels like a good fit.
