ABOUT ME

BACKGROUND

I’m a licensed clinical social worker and an EMDR Certified Therapist. I started in the field of addictions, where I quickly realized addiction is a symptom of deeper concerns. I want to explore those deeper places that are driving the symptoms, rather than focusing on the symptoms. I have experience working in small group practices, community mental health, and addiction treatment centers.

EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES

  • EMDR 

  • IFS concepts

  • Emotion Focused Individual Therapy 

  • Trauma-Informed Yoga

PERSPECTIVE

I recognize that the human experience is complex and impacted by multiple factors, including our environment, relationships, culture, and biology. My view is that being heard, seen, and understood are some of our deepest human needs, and that when we experience those, we have the ability to flourish. I believe that you are already whole, wise, resilient and have a capacity for transformational change, when given opportunities and resources. Rather than focusing on “what’s wrong?” I explore “what’s happened to you?” and “what’s right with you?” I strive to recognize your authentic potential and support you as you design a life aligned with your values and priorities. My approach is trauma-informed, attachment-focused, and strengths-based.
