I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works well with clients of all ages, creating a therapeutic environment for all. I provide a safe and judgement free atmosphere to ensure everyone who comes in my office feels comfortable. I specialize in working with survivors of different types of traumas and abuse including but not limited to sexual, physical, and verbal. In addition, I have experience working with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and bipolar.
I have extensive training in how trauma impacts the brain and how to work on rebuilding parts of the brain that have been impacted by trauma. I offer EMDR as well as trauma informed care and TF-CBT in regards specifically to trauma. As each client is unique, I implement what is best per each client's needs.
I provide a safe, trusting, genuine, and empathetic environment to allow for individuals to process different concerns and traumas they have experienced in their lives. Working through trauma can be terrifying, but I assure you the benefits are priceless.
