I am an attachment based, neurobiological, polyvagal informed EMDR Certified Therapist. My therapeutic approach focuses on identifying and challenging current thinking patterns, assessing and exploring nervous system function, as well as healing past familial and personal experiences to change lives from the inside out. 

 

I remain present, grounded, and attuned in session; adapting services to meet the needs of my clients. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. Over the years, I have completed additional training in various areas including extensive Eating Disorder training both individual and group therapy settings, following somatic treatment methods with a bottom up approach, and Health At Every Size (HAES) Principles. In addition, I hold a Mindfulness Meditation Certificate, have completed TF-CBT, CPT, DBT trainings, and extensive Polyvagal Theory trainings. Including becoming a Certified Remote Facilitator of SSP to help regulate the nervous system through an auditory listening protocol.
