I am a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker & Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor, with over 20 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I received my Level I & Level II EMDR trauma treatment training through the EMDR Institute, & have been practicing EMDR since 2012. I am a member of the professional association EMDR Therapists of Greater Kansas City. I am also trained in Brainspotting & Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) as additional therapies for trauma-related issues.
My therapy practice focuses on providing a customized therapeutic experience to teens and adults. I specialize in complex trauma-related stressors/PTSD, Narcissistic & Borderline personality disorders, narcissistic injury, depression, anxiety, addiction, and attachment issues. I also provide LSCSW clinical supervision, & clinical consultation.
I believe in providing customized therapy designed to enhance your quality of life. I offer a compassionate & empowering healing process through a trauma-informed lens. Making the choice to ask for help & begin a therapeutic process can be difficult. Please know that when we meet, I will take the time to answer your questions, hear your story, & make sure I am a good fit for you.
