I hold two doctorates and will soon complete a third, one in psychology and a master's degree in clinical mental health care and professional counseling, making me a highly qualified professional counselor, clinician, and therapist. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). My expertise lies in providing talk therapy to individuals of all ages, including adolescents, adults, seniors, families, and groups. To ensure the best outcomes for my clients, I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy as an initial approach. We provide supervision for PLPC.
Eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), is used to address complex trauma, and triggers.
We provide two locations for client/participant convenience.
