Ordered by the court to do reunification therapy? Struggling with PTSD/CPTSD. I have over 7 years in court mandated reunification/reintegration training & experience. I am trained in EMDR, IFS & EFT. I help families & couples work together effectively & build cohesive units that successfully address life's issues, focusing & building on existing strengths, defining inner strengths & helping clients recognize their own truths & solutions. I emphasize communication skills & meeting each individual where they are at. I offer online services which have shown better success rates when working with children & estranged parents.
Struggling with negative thinking & trauma? EMDR is designed to address those traumas & heal them so that they no longer negatively impact your present or your future. Facing emotional & physical distance from loved ones? Reunification therapy helps parents & children of divorce or separation, repair their bond & rebuild their familial connection.
I work to make the online experience as comfortable as possible while still maintaining the professional qualities that are required for good mental health treatment, successful skills development & interpersonal connection. Please reach out if you have insurance questions. Note: Reunification/reintegration therapy is NOT covered by insurance companies.

I love applying family systems and structural therapies to families and couples. I also utilize couples EMDR where needed. You can expect some homework and reading assignments as well as role playing in sessions. With trauma work, I mainly employ EMDR, IFS and CBT to address deep rooted and minor trauma and focus on eliminating triggers so that your behavioral responses become more empowering,
