Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida, currently residing in beautiful upstate New York, and have been providing therapy since 2012. I have had the pleasure of working with many populations, including inpatient, psychosocial rehabilitation, private practice, substance abuse treatment programs, and correctional facilities. I have a passion for working with people that have experienced trauma, and utilize EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy regularly, along with other various modalities of treatment, including CBT and DBT, to best assist patients in feeling safe, secure, and loved.
You can anticipate feeling heard during our session, as well as learning new skills that you can implement immediately to best assist you in handling symptoms and life challenges. I always want you to leave with a plan in place, and have confidence in what that looks like.
I have worked primarily with trauma, which I believe can be a root cause of most mental health issues. I also have a strong desire to help blended families, as I have one myself, and it can be an incredibly enjoyable experience when put on track.
I use EMDR and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) regularly in my practice through a web based bilateral stimulation program. This includes both eye movements, and sound. I regularly utilize these modalities to process through traumas, and increase productivity in day to day life that may be hindered by symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and fight/flight/freeze response.
