I have been in practice for over 20 years, helping children and adults heal from abuse, neglect, and attachment injuries. I am trained in EMDR Therapy and integrate other approaches into the evidenced-based structure of EMDR. I offer individual counseling, parent skills training, and parent-child attachment work. Counseling is available for children, teens, and adults to address unresolved past trauma, difficulty trusting in relationships, emotional and behavioral dysregulation, and dissociation. Services can be comprehensive or symptom-focused and treatment goals will be established collaboratively. I am trained in and comfortable working with issues including histories of abuse and neglect, attachment injuries and relationship conflict, parenting concerns, adoption-related issues, dissociation and dissociative disorders, LGBTQIA+, and high stress environments.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I believe that my job as your therapist is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to share your experiences, thoughts, feelings and goals. I help clients work through their difficult past experiences and help them become the best versions of themselves.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I primarily use EMDR Therapy to address painful or traumatic experiences that still feel unresolved and impact daily life. I integrate play therapy, sand tray, and expressive arts techniques into this work. I am able to meet in office or virtually.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am particularly sensitive to clients who struggle to trust or open up to others. I am very aware of how early attachment injury can cause lasting problems and can tune in to subtle dynamics in relationships, including the therapeutic relationship.
