As a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW), I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and over 25 years of experience in education and leadership. My practice is grounded in the belief that healing is a collaborative journey. I specialize in trauma-informed care, utilizing evidence-based modalities like EMDR, IFS, and CBT to help clients navigate PTSD and life’s complex transitions. My background as a longtime educator allows me to foster a supportive, inclusive environment where clients feel truly seen and heard as they work toward personal growth.

Approach to Therapy

My approach is unique because it combines high-level clinical training with a deep, intuitive understanding of human development and social-emotional growth. Having completed specialized training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, I don't just treat symptoms; I help clients access and heal the underlying parts of themselves that hold onto trauma. What truly sets me apart is my ability to translate complex therapeutic concepts into relatable, actionable steps. Whether we are processing deep-seated trauma or building new coping skills, I offer a 'person-centered' space that is both compassionate and grounded in proven science. I view every client through a holistic lens, honoring your individual story while providing the evidence-based tools necessary for lasting change.
