I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker & Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, with over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I received my Level I & Level II EMDR trauma treatment training through the EMDR Institute, & have been practicing EMDR since 2012. I am a member of the professional association EMDR Therapists of Greater Kansas City. I am trained in Brainspotting and Havening as additional treatments for complex trauma-related issues. I often have my registered therapy pup, Lilah with me in the office. Lilah adds comfort and warmth to your therapy experience. My therapy practice, Dahlia Trauma & Wellness Center, focuses on treating individuals with complex trauma-related stressors/PTSD, Narcissistic and Borderline Personality Disorders, narcissistic injury, depression, anxiety, addiction, and attachment issues. I also provide LSCSW clinical supervision & clinical consultation. I believe in providing therapy designed to enhance your quality of life. Making the choice to ask for help & begin a therapeutic process can be difficult. Please know that when we meet, I will take the time to answer your questions, hear your story, & make sure I am a good fit for you.
