I am a licensed therapist in California, Connecticut, and South Dakota; who is specialized in treating trauma, OCD, and substance abuse.
I am trained in EMDR, SMART Recovery, and ERP. I also do Expressive Arts Therapy for when words are not enough or there is a need for self-exploration and creative expression.
I don't believe in a cookie cutter approach-everyone is different and that is amazing! I will find what works for you with your feedback and goals in mind. Everyone should feel respected, safe, and cared for while going through the therapy process. Never underestimate the power of humor and kindness to bring about powerful change.
