I specialize in OCD, Trauma, Anxiety and gifted testing. I am a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed School Psychologist and EMDR Certified Therapist. When working with adults, I meet you where you are at to help you get to where you want to be. I focus my work with children on play-based, EMDR and cognitive behavioral strategies with a strong understanding of how children process and communicate. The family is always an integral part of therapy with children so I love bringing in parents and siblings in order to create a better future for the whole family.
I use evidence-based treatments for a variety of presenting concerns including EMDR, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Child Centered Play Therapy and more. I also specialize in evaluations for the gifted programs in Sarasota and Manatee counties. I also offer telehealth for clients in Connecticut.
I also have several clinicians working under my supervision offering individual, couples, family therapy and faith-based services.
Therapy is always tailored to individual needs so even if you are questioning an issue and would like to consult with a professional, please reach out. We are here to help in any way that we can.
