I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist trained in attachment and trauma focused approaches to mental health. I partner with my clients to help them better understand their emotions and facilitate healing from past traumas and attachment wounds. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and I am an EMDR Consultant-in-Training. I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples as well as Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) for my teen and adult clients. I have that found many of our problems stem from past experiences that now negatively impact our relationships with others and/or ourselves. My focus is to help create a safe and trusting relationship with my clients. This relationship clients to safely go deeper into their emotions in order for powerful and lasting healing to occur. For families, I am trained in Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) and have completed the Level 1 Theraplay training. I find with younger children, Theraplay inspired interventions mixed with EFFT help to strengthen family bonds and help the family to connect and communicate in healthier ways. Using both models, I spend the majority of time working with the caregivers in my family work. Research and experience have shown me that the most significant change comes from the caregivers in the family system, no matter the age of the child.
