My experience in forensic, inpatient, and outpatient environments has given me the breadth and depth to understand complex psychological difficulties. I specialize in working with trauma clients and am certified in EMDR and I am on the track to become an EMDR trainer of other clinicians. I have training in somatic experiencing (SE™). I have extensively studied the neurobiology of trauma and trauma treatment. I have training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), and I approach work from an IFS-informed perspective.

I am intensively trained in DBT and work with clients in DBT and CBT. I have additional specialty training in CBT for OCD with adolescents and adults.

Specialty training in dissociative disorders and trauma, re-traumatization and compassion fatigue, healing sexual trauma, risk & violence assessment.
