Education & Experience

graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with a certificate in developmental disabilities from The Florida State University and began my work in a nonprofit focused on the needs of D/deaf and hard-of-hearing folks in South Florida. Following that, I spent several years as a child protection caseworker in sexual abuse intervention teams. I became frustrated with system and clinical limitations on treatment for both victims and perpetrators of abuse and decided that I wanted to be a part of the clinical world to make the difference that I wanted to see. So, I went back to school and earned a Masters in Social Work (MSW) degree + certificate in behavioral health from Colorado State University, completed training and certification in EMDR, in addition to an advanced certificate in complex trauma and dissociation through the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD). I continue to work with Boulder County in outreach and resource coordination for caregivers and older adults, in addition to seeing clients in my clinical therapeutic private practice.
