About Me

I am an experienced psychotherapist and EMDR practitioner. From the moment I first learned of EMDR during my graduate education, I knew it was an approach that I would love. I have long felt that the body communicates as much, if not more, than our words, and for many people, improved mental health demands a psychotherapy intervention that helps us listen to our bodies better. After being trained in 2017, I have provided EMDR treatment to people with many different symptoms including PTSD, substance use disorders, suicidality, anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms related to their mental health. In my practice, clients can expect to work on unravelling their past from their present and to develop a stronger ability to listen to their own internal wisdom. EMDR is often a key component to this process.
