About Me

My path to becoming a therapist began with a career in social work. In my early twenties, I worked in the Child Welfare System helping children and families navigate complex challenges. The experience was both rewarding and harrowing, but it provided motivation to address my own mental wellness.  I sought counseling and was fortunate to find a wonderful therapist. She helped me make sense of my life experiences, learn strategies that worked, and most importantly experience the healing power of EMDR.

I’ve now been a licensed counselor for over 14 years, and I find the work I do incredibly meaningful. As a therapist I’ve worked with a variety of populations (kids, families, adults) and in a variety of settings (in-home, community mental health, substance use treatment facility, Hospice, and others).

Currently, I have a private practice where I concentrate on utilizing my expertise in EMDR to provide high quality therapy and training. My office is located in Clearwater Florida, and I also offer telehealth counseling to residents of Arizona, Florida and South Dakota. Lastly, I am a EMDR Consultant-in-Training with EMDRIA and EMDR Educators. As a Consultant-in-Training I provide skilled training, coaching and consultation to my peer therapists who are working to further their proficiency with EMDR.
