About Me
I am an EMDRIA-approved Consultant-In-Training whose current work focuses primarily on EMDR consultation, education, and advanced training for clinicians. My background includes extensive experience in trauma-informed, attachment-focused EMDR, ego state work, somatic integration, and transpersonal approaches to healing. I bring a body-based, depth-oriented lens to both clinical work and consultation. At this time, I am not accepting new EMDR therapy clients. Individuals seeking ongoing trauma treatment are encouraged to use the EMDRIA directory to find clinicians offering direct care. I currently provide consultation for EMDR therapists pursuing Certification, with areas of emphasis including somatic integration, spirituality, leadership development, and work with non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Education & Experience
I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University and have been a licensed clinician since 2011, with extensive experience in trauma-informed practice. I am EMDRIA Certified and currently serve as a Consultant-in-Training with the Beyond Healing Institute. My advanced training includes attachment-focused and somatic approaches to EMDR, ego state work, polyvagal theory, and applied neurobiology. My clinical foundation is further informed by Jungian and humanistic psychology, as well as spiritual and transpersonal frameworks. I have completed advanced training in psychedelic-assisted therapies, including certifications and coursework through Journey Clinical, Starlight Psychedelics, the Ketamine-Assisted EMDR Therapy Institute, and the MAPS Fundamentals program. Additional professional training includes registered yoga and meditation instruction, mind–body facilitation through the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, sound healing, and applied numerology. I integrate these perspectives to support EMDR consultation, education, and the development of embodied clinical leadership.
