About Me
I have been in private practice for over 35 years and have been using EMDR therapy as a daily part of my practice for over 23 years. I am honored to bear witness to the transformative work this therapy provides. I am invested in creating a safe, supportive, healing place for people to find resolution from their trauma and find meaning from their pain. I believe everyone can access their wisdom and create a new healthy path when given the chance to be seen, understood, empowered, and cared for. Restoring hope and faith in oneself is what my work is all about.
