About Me

I use EMDR to not only target obvious traumatic memories, but also as a tool for exploration and self-discovery. By utilizing a parts perspective, I work with each unhealed version of you; whether that’s your inner child or your self-destructive teenager. I take great pride in the trauma focused perspective I bring into each therapy session and find great value in helping clients develop self-compassion by viewing their unhealthy coping behaviors as outdated survival techniques.

Education & Experience

I received my Bachelor’s degree from University of Delaware and my Master’s degree from Florida Atlantic University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I began my first counseling position working with survivors of domestic violence and went on to work in community counseling for severe mental illness, various settings for substance abuse treatment, and most recently started my own private practice while taking on the position as clinical director for a startup intensive outpatient program.
