About Me

Do you find yourself anxious and struggling with sleep after a recent traumatic event? Do you find it difficult to stop thinking about painful events, no matter how hard you try? Trauma can profoundly shape the way we view ourselves and the world. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. But there is hope. If you are ready to make a change, and feel more connected to yourself and others- I can help. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor specializing in EMDR, I work with women and LGBTQIA+ adult individuals to help release the grip of trauma.

Trauma can profoundly shape the way we view ourselves and the world. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. But there is hope. If you are ready to make a change, and feel more connected to yourself and others- I can help. As a licensed clinical mental health counselor specializing in EMDR, I work with women and LGBTQIA+ adult individuals to help release the grip of trauma. I have 7 years of experience specializing in working with women-identifying and LGBTQIA+ folks who have experienced trauma. I utilize evidence-based Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as my primary treatment modality. Let us work together to restore connection to your body, live in the present again, and let go of limiting beliefs. It is important to feel comfortable and connected to your therapist, in order for therapy to be helpful. Please send me an email to see if we are a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you. I provide teletherapy to individuals living in PA and VT through a secure HIPAA compliant platform.
