I am a clinical individual, couple and family therapist. Issues typically addressed in my practice include trauma, depression, anxiety, adjustment problems, emotional regulation, and relationship issues. I am certified in the use of EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I have extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (Completed Externship and all Core Skills trainings: Supervision and Certification in process). I am a Registered Play Therapist and work with children ages 3+.
EMDR is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for the treatment of trauma. EFT is a structured, well-supported approach to couples therapy. Play Therapy is a developmentally appropriate means of treating children's issues.
My office is conveniently located at the foot of Lookout Mountain, just off of Broad Street in St. Elmo. Please visit the website for more information about specific location, parking, hours of operation and FAQs.
