About Me

As a therapist specializing in the treatment of complex trauma, I firmly believe that these instances of upheaval in our lives are more than just “breakdowns.” With effective clinical guidance and support, they are opportunities for “breakthroughs.” My passion for high quality client centered care drives me to continuously research and incorporate innovative techniques in the field of counseling to create a refreshing therapeutic space for you to unpack. My varied previous professional experiences include practicing as an in-home behavior support consultant for challenged youth in San Diego, CA; working across varying levels of acuity at an inpatient psychiatric facility in Virginia Beach, VA; and most recently, continuing to expand my clinical skill set by working with individuals, families, and couples in a community outpatient mental health setting. I am presently working in private practice, as an independent contractor affiliate of the group, Passionately Living, in Virginia Beach. I specialize in EMDR [Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing] for the treatment of complex trauma, and other comorbid conditions such as OCD, anxiety, and specifically dissociative disorders.
