About Me
I have over twelve years of experience working with complex trauma and PTSD. My approach is warm and empathic and I believe in the importance of working at pace that feels safe to you. I incorporate Internal Family Systems with EMDR to address complex trauma and have found this approach to be both supportive and effective. I believe that you are the expert when it comes to your needs and goals for therapy. I use a strengths-based approach that encourages you to access the abilities and resources you have to promote healing.
I also offer EMDR consultation as an EMDRIA approved consultant-in-training. The focus of my consultation is supporting clinicians in learning how to integrate EMDR and IFS to treat complex trauma.
Education & Experience
I have experience working with multiple forms of trauma. I specialize in working with survivors of sexual assault, childhood abuse, and domestic violence. I also specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, women, and LGBTQ+ clients. I believe in self-determination and empowerment and will support you in the goals you have for your mental health.
