I work with Adults, Young Adults, Adolescents and Couples on a wide range of issues and difficulties. Some specific interests include anxiety and depression, self -esteem, trauma, regulating emotions, relationship and communication problems, divorce, life transitions, grief, and parenting issues. I value a collaborative environment to develop new insights and strategies to manage stressors, process emotions, enhance strengths and implement effective life changes. Difficulties processing emotions and a lack of coping skills can keep people feeling 'stuck' and be a barrier to experiencing growth and joy in life.
My approach is comprehensive in nature and utilizes evidenced-based strategies. Specifically, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, DBT, and EMDR. I am currently in the certification process with EMDRIA. I have also completed training as a Co-Parenting Coordinator through Cooperative Parenting Institute and Gottman training for relationships.
I obtained my Master of Arts in Psychology from the Citadel's Clinical Counseling Master of Arts Program accredited by the Masters in Psychology and Counseling Accreditation Council (MPCAC) and Council of Applied Masters Programs in Psychology (CAMPP). EMDR trained and EMDRIA certification process. DBT with Behavioral Tech and Gottman Method for Couples
