I have been working in the social services field for over 16 years in a variety of settings and with a variety of populations, including mental health therapy for over 10 years, supported community living, residential treatment, domestic violence advocacy, homeless services, and consulting and supervision.
I am an EMD Approved Consultant and an EMDR Certified mental health therapist who specializes in trauma. I weave in Ego State parts work and other types of therapies into EMDR, depending on each individual’s trauma goals and needs, for the most effective and complete trauma treatment. I also focus on continuing education and staying on top of current research to continually improve and enhance my trauma skills and treatment methods. My philosophy is that any type of trauma can lead to all kinds of mental health disorders, and resolving the trauma will resolve symptoms. This is based on the Adaptive Information Processing model that says we all have the capacity to heal from all types of symptoms of mental health problems as long as we have the right tools.
I strive to help all my clients completely recover from past traumas so they can have the best life possible, including having improved relationships with themselves and others. I also have extensive training and experience with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, abuse and domestic violence, relationships, personality structure and personality disorders, anger issues, and family issues.
