Areas of Expertise
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) by EMDRIA (EMDR International Association) - approved trainers. I am currently pursuing certification with EMDRIA - certified consultants and supervisors. I offer EMDR Intensives for clients who are interested and for whom it is appropriate.
I have also been trained by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) on Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level One.
I have attended workshops on integrating these two treatment modalities in order to achieve optimal healing. The intersection of EMDR and IFS is where my passion lies, and my professional goal is to expand my expertise with both.
Other evidence-based interventions I rely on in my work are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Polyvagal Theory, Breath Work, and Somatic Therapy

After retiring from a career as a high school teacher, I dove deeper into my own healing. I obtained a Masters Degree from Walden University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and passed the National Counselor Exam in 2023. I've since opened my private practice where I am accruing hours for PA licensure.
I love to collaborate with other experts in holistic wellness to offer retreats and workshops.

My teaching career instilled within me a sense of wonder and delight in the group process, and I love to harness that energy by facilitating support and therapeutic groups.
