Provider information
Description
I'm a clinical social worker specializing in anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and depression. With a holistic approach rooted in the stress model and Polyvagal Theory, I help clients facing challenges like childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, workplace trauma, and more. Using EMDR therapy, we reorganize traumatic memories, reducing emotional intensity and physical responses. You'll gain agency and understand that you're not "going crazy" but experiencing dysregulation due to stress. I value "ah-ha" moments and humor in our sessions, but the foundation is our therapeutic relationship.
