I am a registered social worker providing individual therapy to adults 18+. I am certified in perinatal mental health, trained in EMDR therapy, polyvagal theory, parts work, and somatic psychology.
In order for me to provide the most up to date support I engage in regular consultation with an EMDR consultant, attend peer consultation groups, listen to podcasts and read books as well as take part in trainings and professional development opportunities.
Throughout my years in the social work profession I have also made my personal healing a priority through my own yoga and meditation practices, engaging in body-based movement and breathing strategies, carving out time for my interests and the experiences that bring me joy as well as my own therapy.
I am a supportive and fun friend, a grateful and devoted daughter and granddaughter, a loyal and joyful wife, an imperfect and loving mother, and someone who enjoys warm weather, moving my body, reading for fun and always learning. These qualities help me to be the best guide for those I work with.
Below you will find my education, experience and trainings listed; I do my best to keep this as current as possible.
