About Me
I love to learn and once I completed my EMDR basic training, I quickly understood this treatment modality requires a lifetime of learning. I know that stagnation is not an option! I love bringing knowledge to clients and teaching them about our central nervous system and its direct relationship to our emotions.
Education & Experience
I graduated from the University of Iowa with my Masters and have been a clinician for 5 years. I first worked in community mental health at Orchard Place, providing school-based therapy to elementary children. I then shifted to private practice two years ago. I currently work with children as young as 3-17 and adults. I integrate child-centered play therapy and EMDR. I also utilize sandtray therapy when it feels more difficult to express our thoughts and feelings.
