Hello! Thanks for visiting my page. I'm a licensed clinical social worker and sole practitioner. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy for adults and children using clinically-proven, evidenced based therapy. I use a multi faceted clinical focus when working with my clients, that includes a trauma informed, relational-developmental and attachment based lens. It is critical that we understand and heal our past, in order to understand our present and to create a healthier future for ourselves and loved ones.

This three pronged approach is foundational construct with EMDR [Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing] work as well. As an EMDR Certified Therapist, I help clients reprocess past traumas that may be interfering with their lives, relationships and overall functioning. I also incorporate Parts of Self work into the therapeutic process to help you understand and connect to different parts of your identity that may have served you in a protective manner, but can also cause disruption and lack of growth and healing in our lives. Examples of this include reactionary anger, "people pleasing," "over self reliance," "emotionally/mentally shutting down." These aspects of your self personality may have helped you tremendously to avoid, diminish or completely shut out painful experiences and feelings as a child. As an adult, however, these same protective responses can result in damaged relationships, impulsive reactions to others or stressful situations, allowing poor treatment by others, and struggles with understanding how to establish  and maintain boundaries. 

Taking the first step towards healing oneself is a courageous endeavor. It requires strength, commitment, and a yearning to be engaged with the truest version of one's Self. I have helped many people identify unconscious patterns, protective parts and aspects of functioning that are no longer serving them. Together, we will work on increasing your conscious awareness of these areas and helping you begin to identify, practice and integrate new ways of thinking, feeling, functioning and believing in the version of yourself that you are meant to be.
