About Me
I am a clinical mental health counselor and registered yoga teacher. I utilize EMDR alongside other therapies or alone to help clients struggling with trauma, complex trauma, relational/attachment injuries, domestic violence, self esteem, anxiety, OCD, and more.
I also utilize adjunct forms of therapy including yoga, ACT, and DBT to tailor treatment to individual needs. It is important to me as a therapist to create a space that feels safe, inviting, and creates room for growth.
Education & Experience
I completed my graduate studies at University of North Carolina at Pembroke in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have additionally completed trainings in yoga for trauma, addition, anxiety, and depression. I completed EMDR training through EMDR consulting.
