Education & Experience

I have completed specialized training in EMDR on disordered eating, chronic pain and attachment. I am trained in the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) and Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Basic Skills. These modalities work together to bridge the gap between the mind and the body as language alone often prevents us from listening to our body’s natural responses to stress and well-being. ​ I earned my MSW from the University of California, Los Angeles and am licensed in both California and Virginia. I have worked in a variety of settings including community mental health programs, hospital Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and a university graduate student wellness center. I have specialized training in working with anxiety and trauma. In 2020, I transitioned to private practice where I remain passionate about working with individuals to understand your unique experience, offering tools to improve resiliency and providing a supportive environment to heal.
