About Me

I have been studying and working in the mental health field for 10 years.  I have worked in public schools with children ages 5-18 as well as with our local community service board delivering individual outpatient services to adolescents and adults.  Currently I am studying EMDR in order to broaden my skills in trauma reprocessing and resolution. I have completed level 1 training of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (a body-oriented approach to trauma resolution) as well as Level 1 training for Internal Family Systems. I am certified in Adolescent and Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) and have used this model to work with teenagers struggling with substance use and addiction. I have experience and a strong interest in leading therapy groups as well and provided a Women's Support Group for my female identifying clients in the Fall 2024.  In my time out of the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children, connecting with friends,  and exploring the lovely area in which we live.

-Relationship and communication issues
