As a therapist, I believe that a person is more than just the sum of their experiences. Each one of us is made up of our unique thoughts, emotions and ideas. I have devoted my career to finding ways of honoring who you are, as well as who you want to become. My clients range from children to adults, and my special interests are with OCD, trauma, and parenting. With more than a decade of clinical experience and training, my clients experience real, lasting healing. My style is direct, non-judgmental and supportive, as we work together to create a treatment plan that uniquely fits your needs.
My specialties include trauma, OCD, and parenting. I have training in EMDR and FLASH protocol, evidence-based treatments for trauma, and will soon offer ketamine-assisted EMDR therapy, one of the most effective forms of treatment for complex trauma. I have extensive experience with exposure therapy for OCD, and CPS training for parenting and family conflict.
I know that our lives get busy, so I offer flexible scheduling options, including weekend, to help make therapy more possible. Please know that you are not defined by your troubles, and that help is out there. Your story is valuable, and so are you. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
