I help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorder or difficult life transitions. I also specialize in helping people who come from difficult circumstances and are now struggling emotionally or with their relationships because of it. I help people heal from trauma, with an emphasis on the wounds of early childhood. I am certified in EMDR and use other evidence-based treatments such as ego state therapy, DBT, and trauma-informed stabilization treatment. I love helping clients analyze the ways in which the past shows up in the present. We address what we learn with trauma processing and practicing new skills. I am a licensed clinical social worker and board approved supervisor with 18 years of experience. I also work with dissociation, whether that means things feeling unreal and disconnected or feeling like there are parts inside that don't connect. I believe that you are the expert in your own life. If you call me and I'm not currently able to accommodate you on my schedule, I also own a group practice and am happy to help make referrals. I strongly believe that all people should have access to mental health care and love to help connect people with great therapists.
