Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience in many different settings, including community and private mental health clinics, schools, medical settings, and within the insurance industry and non-profit sectors. Since 2014, I have been dedicated solely to private practice. Though I have been doing this work for a long time, I know there is always more that I could learn! I am LGBTQIA+-affirming. I enjoy working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. I strive to offer a therapy space where you don’t have to perform, explain, or be the strong one.
I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a well-researched, effective psychotherapy method, to help people move through past negative experiences. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and have been using it in my practice since 2018. I find EMDR therapy to be an extremely powerful and efficient modality. I have witnessed many clients experience significant relief from many different issues, such as past trauma (including developmental, medical, sexual, physical, and spiritual), as well as grief, phobias, and anxiety after working with EMDR. Read more about EMDR.
I am also Internal Family Systems (IFS)- informed and often use this approach combined with EMDR to help people find new ways to use different “parts” of themselves to unlock healing. Read more about IFS.
I also enjoy using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help people mindfully bring intention and change to thought patterns. Read more about ACT.
