With 20 years of experience in the field of social work and a decade as a practicing therapist, I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal and grow through evidence-based, compassionate care. I focus on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma recovery, substance abuse treatment, and couples therapy. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, tailored to meet the unique needs of each person I work with. Whether you're navigating past trauma, struggling with addiction, or working to strengthen your relationships, I provide a safe and supportive space to move toward lasting change.
