LCSW, 10 years of experience
Hello and welcome to my page! I am an LCSW in Pennsylvania and am currently a Doctorate of Social Work candidate. My passion is in helping individuals to recover from traumatic events and have worked extensively with survivors of sexual trauma and other traumatic events. I have also worked extensively with survivors of forced migration, including refugees and asylum seekers and I offer evaluations for immigration court.
In our first session, I will learn more about you so that I can tailor the therapy to your goals and needs and to explore the modalities that may be a good fit for you. I hope to help you to explore your strengths to meet the goals that you may have for yourself. It is a privilege to hear your story and to walk with your on journey.
Clients know what is best for them and their lives. I assist clients in identifying the strengths that they have to help them to move forward to get to where they would like to be.
I have found it very rewarding to walk alongside clients that have experienced traumatic events, so that I am help them to process their experiences and start their healing journey.
Cognitive Processing Therapy is an evidence-based therapy that has proven to be effective in treating trauma. I integrate CPT into my work with individuals that have experienced trauma, however there are elements that are useful for many different experiences that an individual may face.
I am certified in EMDR and use this regularly for individuals that have experienced traumatic events. It is a useful intervention for other issues that may arise outside of traumatic events. EMDR can be helpful for individuals that have found that traditional talk therapy hasn't helped to make the progress they are looking for.
