About Me
Hi! I offer neurodivergence-affirming EMDR therapy for clients with complex and attachment trauma. I have experience working with dissociative disorders and integrating parts work modalities. My style is warm, direct, and affirming and I bring humor and genuineness to my work with clients. I have a particular interest in working with adults and teens with attachment wounds and those who have suffered from religious, spiritual, or narcissistic abuse and survivors of cults or high demand groups. I also have lived experience navigating the joys and challenges of raising neurodivergent kids and kids with high emotional and medical needs in an imperfect world.
Education & Experience
I have a masters degree in Pastoral Counseling (spiritually-integrative Clinical Mental Health Counseling) from Loyola University in Maryland. I have worked with teens and adults in psychiatric in-patient settings, military installations, community mental health, and private practice. I specialize in neurodivergence-affirming trauma therapy for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD teens and adults as well as survivors of cults and narcissistic abuse.
