About My Clients

COVID-19 has created a sense of fear, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and stress for many of us. Are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, a sense of hopelessness? Give me the opportunity to help you overcome life’s obstacles. I understand the importance of having a compassion working with such a vulnerable population. Please allow me to be a part of your support system. I look forward to teaching you new coping skills and get back the control you want.

My Background and Approach

I have 15 years experience in this profession and appreciate the wide variety of clients in my practice. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have experience working with severe trauma. I specialize in treating childhood and recent trauma, depression, anxiety related disorders, relationship problems, PTSD and others mood disorders and fertility issues. I am fully trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and practice it currently. I love taking time with clients and explaining all of the nuances of EMDR. During the process of psychotherapy you will learn coping skills, education on how your nervous system affects the entire body including emotional regulation. You will develop ways to reduce symptoms. Adversarial experiences can overwhelm and/or disrupt the normal adaptive information processing which results in unprocessed information being dysfunctionally held in memory networks. Talk therapy or EMDR can be used foul for any mental health support.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I firmly believe that a higher power put me into this profession to help those who need help before its to late. I love my job and believe it is an honor to hear everyone’s life experiences. I am a cancer survivor and have struggled with pain and other difficulties due to the cancer diagnosis. I understand the difficulty of anxiety, depression and poor family dynamics. I will not judge anyone and accept whatever lifestyle you may have. I allow you to be you in session. You can say whatever you would like and know that you will not offend me in anyway. My sessions with clients are safe and allow for ventilation of any and all emotions. I am very delicate in my approach and allow my clients to gain strength and control. I always stress that the client has the power and control in session. Developing a safe calm place, developing an understanding of your nervous system, teaching you how the brain is affected by emotions and in turn your entire body.
