About Me
I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic mindfulness practices. A significant focus of my work includes healing body image concerns, body shame, and disconnection from the body. Through trauma-informed, somatic-centered interventions, I help clients rebuild a compassionate and empowered relationship with their bodies.
I have extensive experience working with individuals navigating Complex PTSD, as well as Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). I particularly enjoy supporting educators, parents, and fellow therapists—those who are often caregivers and leaders for others, yet rarely receive the depth of care they themselves deserve.
As a consultant, I am committed to mentoring clinicians in developing confidence, attunement, and embodied presence in their EMDR work. My consultation style blends clinical precision with warmth, curiosity, and practical integration strategies.
Education & Experience
I have over 20 years of experience as an LPC.
