Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW)

Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP)

EMDR Certified Clinician

My Perspective

I believe that endeavoring to improve our emotional quality of life takes bravery. I am happy to see the scales tipping in favor of mental health in recent years, however, we must acknowldge asking for mental health support has been culturally counter intuitive for generations. Reaching out for couseling and consultation is the first and most important step. As humans, it really is ok to say that sometimes we "aren’t always ok". Shame does not actually exist in the same space of asking for help.

My Therapy Background

I work with a wide range of individuals and diagnoses including psychosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression and PTSD. I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) certified therapist and use a combination of Cognitve Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with clients to address, manage and alleviate symptoms.

Additional

I am also available for clinical supervision to licensure candidates individually and in groups. Personal and professional growth are essential to whole living and I hope to provide a space for that growth with those I work with.
