Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Play Therapist, and EMDR Consultant-in-Training with over 5 years of clinical experience. My background includes working in residential treatment centers, community mental health, and private practice before joining Grandview Family Counseling, where I provide specialized trauma therapy to children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples.
I have advanced training in many modalities of trauma-informed care and draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, TF-CBT, IFS, ACT, EFT, PEERS, DBT skills, Polyvagal and Attachment theory to support those experiencing significant distress from daily life and complex trauma. My practice integrates a collaborative and strengths-based perspective to foster resilience, healing, and meaningful growth.
I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals navigating the lasting impacts of trauma alongside challenges such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, life transitions, grief, chronic pain, faith crises, and gender identity. As a neuro-affirming clinician, I work collaboratively with neurodiverse individuals, ensuring therapy is inclusive, validating, and responsive to each person’s needs and lived experiences.
