Education & Experience

I’m a Certified EMDR therapist and Consultant-In-Training who integrates Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT, CBT), Somatic Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support clients with exploring their strengths while addressing the issues that get in the way of your vision of a satisfying life. As an EMDR Consultant-in-Training, my goal is to support clinicians with growing their skills in a supportive and dynamic environment. I offer clinical consultation for psychotherapists looking to meet EMDRIA requirements for certification. Together, we can explore strategies for navigating the 8 phases of EDMDR therapy using experiential knowledge, didactic learning, and skills development processes. During the course of my career, I've had the pleasure of implementing trauma-informed mental health programs for public health, non-profit, and private insurance health organizations.
