About Me

I believe in the body’s innate ability to heal and thrive. As a fully trained EMDR therapist working towards certification, I help individuals tap into their natural resilience to process past experiences and move toward lasting growth. I specialize in working with adults navigating and healing from eating disorders, substance use, trauma, and complex trauma. My therapeutic orientation is client-centered, strength-based, and holistic, tailoring my approach to meet your unique needs. In addition to EMDR, I incorporate a variety of therapeutic approaches including attachment-based therapies, parts work, polyvagal theory, motivational interviewing, and DBT/CBT.

Education & Experience

I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work's Master of Social Work program and also received a graduate-level Certificate in Mental Health. Alongside my EMDR training, I have pursued advanced training in treating eating disorders and substance use disorders. I am a Certified Allied Addiction Practitioner (CAAP) through the PA Certification Board and hold the Inclusive Eating Disorder Specialist (IEDS) credential.
