For more than 35 years, I have been curious about what helps people heal, connect, grow, and create meaningful change.
A CAREER BUILT ON CURIOSITY
A CAREER BUILT ON CURIOSITY
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1990, but my education as a therapist has never really stopped.
In 2000, I trained in EMDR therapy with Francine Shapiro. Soon after, I joined a consultation group with Deany Laliotis, founder and director of The Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy. More than 25 years later, that ongoing consultation continues to shape and deepen my work.
There is always more to learn.
That belief has guided me throughout my career and led me to pursue advanced training across trauma, relationships, sexuality, attachment, the nervous system, and the many ways our experiences live within both mind and body.
THERAPY IS SOMETHING WE CREATE TOGETHER
THERAPY IS SOMETHING WE CREATE TOGETHER
I don't believe treatment should be something that happens to you.
My clients and I co-create a treatment plan based on what brings them to therapy, what they hope will change, and what we discover through our work together.
We revisit that plan regularly because people change, circumstances change, and therapy should be responsive to both.
My role is to bring experience, training, curiosity, and a wide range of therapeutic approaches to the process while keeping your needs and goals at the center of our work.
RESPONDING WHEN TRAUMA HAPPENS
RESPONDING WHEN TRAUMA HAPPENS
The COVID-19 pandemic, along with the increasing number of natural and human-caused disasters affecting communities around the world, led me to expand my work into Early EMDR Intervention.
I became both an Early EMDR Intervention (EEI-TEP) practitioner and trainer, developing additional tools for supporting people in the immediate and early aftermath of traumatic experiences.
That work has become another extension of a question that has followed me throughout my career:
How can we respond to trauma in ways that support recovery as early as possible?

My work has been shaped by extensive training across disciplines, allowing me to draw from different perspectives rather than relying on a single approach.
