I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist via EMDRIA. EMDR is an effective and evidence based approach to treating - not only trauma - but many other issues and negative core / self beliefs that keep us stuck.

I work with people ages 18 + and my main modality used is EMDR. With that said, I'm a BIG believer that the most powerful healing tool we have as therapists is the safety and connection of the therapeutic relationship with our clients, allowing for corrective experiences in the therapy office. This heals.

My areas of interest are trauma, complex trauma, sexual assault / abuse, supporting the LGBTQ+ community, the slightly eccentric and off-beat and helping people find confidence and a strong sense of self. I absolutely love working with people who are searching for their purpose and full acceptance of who they are. Be yourself and be proud. I’m committed to truth telling, social justice, liberation and anti-oppression of all victims / survivors and oppressed populations.

I have no interest in being a cookie cutter, blank slate type therapist. If that’s what you’re looking for,I may not be for you. A comfortable connection and safe therapeutic relationship are top priorities.

I’m a staunch ally, queer & trans affirming and enjoy working with people as they discover who they are and how to live authentically.

I’ve been supporting people for the last 15+ years in various capacities and now offer individual therapy - including EMDR therapy - for support through many mental health issues and life transitions including trauma, self-esteem, confidence building, interpersonal relationships, marriage, job stress, depression, anxiety. I worked as a birth doula for many years and also have training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International (PSI).

My goal is to be a welcoming place where you feel accepted for who you are, gain awareness, confidence, feel heard and find healing. Taking time for yourself to really be listened to and supported isn’t selfish.

My personality is super down-to-earth, easy going - I tend to curse a lot - yet professional. I take my job, your story and boundaries very seriously and I look forward to hearing from you.

When I'm not working I'm practicing Ashtanga Yoga, knitting, hanging with my 4 lb. rescued chihuahua, Gus, and 3 black cats and watching spooky things.
