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.
I am often accompanied by my Psychiatric Support pup, Lilah, who is here to provide additional comfort for patients. Lilah is registered with ADA. Please alert me with any questions regarding her role here at Dahlia TWC.
