About Me

I began my EMDR journey in 2019 by completing the S.A.F.E. Informed Basic Training with the Personal Transformation Institute (PTI). The knowledge I gained from that training motivated me to pursue further development as an Approved Consultant and an EMDR Training Assistant with PTI. While I use this therapy in my clinical practice, I am also passionate about sharing my knowledge with other clinicians and communities about the transformative impact EMDR can have on lives. While I do operate a group practice, my particular interests are geared toward intensive therapy sessions, EMDR consultation, and clinical supervision
