About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and board-approved clinical supervisor with over 15 years experience as a therapist. I have been utilizing EMDR and other EMDR-based protocols to assist clients who have experienced single-incident traumatic events as well as life-long adverse experiences for the past 10 years. I have an office in Abilene, TX and am also able to provide virtual appointments throughout Texas. I am currently accepting new clients and would consider it a privilege to walk with you through this difficult season towards healing and wholeness. Reach out today to set up an appointment and begin your journey. Website: www.smwcounseling.com Psychology Today profile: https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1269320
