About Me

I have extensive experience delivering evidence-based therapeutic interventions, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Attachment Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), TEAM-CBT, CBT for psychosis (CBTp), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am skilled in clinical assessment, treatment planning, and crisis intervention for diverse populations. I have over ten years of helping experience having served in various settings, including schools, jails, shelters, community health and private practice settings.

Education & Experience

I have a special interest in working with people with trauma and psychosis. I received training in EMDR and Attachment-Focused EMDR directly from Laurel Parnell. I am also trained in Dr. Colin A. Ross's Trauma Model Therapy and integrate this with narrative therapy in my EMDR work. I received training in CBT for Psychosis from Dr. Sally Riggs.
