About
My area of specialty is trauma and stress, where I use EMDR and trauma-informed therapy. I also work with individuals who have anxiety, depression, family and relational concerns. My clients range from infants to mature adults and family systems. My treatment philosophy is to seek to understand first, therefore I take the time to get to know each individual or family's unique experiences before we start therapy. How I work with individuals is tailored to their own needs and desires for personal growth and healing. I am available evenings, in person as well as by video. I utilize evidence-based treatment approaches, such as EMDR, Trauma Informed Therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, and Child-Parent Psychotherapy. These approaches have had great success in my practice. Making time to take care of yourself may be challenging when juggling family, kids, and/or professional responsibilities, so I offer telehealth. I understand that change can be difficult. Finding someone to work with may be confusing and scary; therefore, I offer a 10 minute free consultation. I have found that by doing this, people are able to make better decisions about the type of care they want. If my approach sounds like what you need, please give me a call. We can decide together. Specialties: I work with children and families who have experienced a traumatic event such as a death of a loved one, divorce/separation, serious illness, and family conflicts. During our first session together I will seek to understand your needs and concerns. You will have an opportunity to ask me questions to get to know me better as well. We will use effective strategies to achieve your goals. Credentials & Experience: I have over 20 years of experience helping individuals overcome anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and self-esteem issues. I am EMDR certified, trained in trauma informed treatment, and hold a post graduate certificate in Parental Alienation. I provide clinical supervision to licensing candidates.
"I use trauma informed interventions, CPP, EMDR and mindfulness. I have found that at the root of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, etc. there is trauma. All of us are exposed to trauma through out our life time. How we deal with traumatic events sets the stage for how well we achieve traumatic growth."
