Education & Experience
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over two decades of experience providing trauma-informed care. I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, and chronic illness. My approach integrates EMDR with cognitive-behavioral and person-centered techniques to promote resilience and lasting change. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Fordham University and have extensive experience across various settings, including nephrology social work, child welfare, and family mediation. Currently, I serve as the Clinical Director at Drawanert and Associates, where I provide therapy, clinical supervision, and mentorship to emerging social workers.
