About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate the complexities of trauma and relationship wellness. My approach centers on the belief that everyone has an innate capacity for healing when provided with the right therapeutic environment.

By combining EMDR with modalities like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Brainspotting, I help clients move beyond traditional talk therapy to achieve deeper, somatically informed resolution. Whether you are seeking to heal from past wounds or improve your current relational health, my goal is to provide a collaborative, person centered space for change.

Education & Experience

Over 7 years of experience in community mental health with 3 in leadership roles, providing psychotherapy and clinical supervision to staff. I have extensive experience in crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and managing complex cases within multidisciplinary teams.
