Last Updated 30+ days ago
Hello, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with teens, adults, couples and families with over 15 years of experience in the psychology/counseling field. My focus is to provide a comfortable and supportive atmosphere in order to help individiuals feel better in their day to day lives.
My specialty is working with anyone who has been through small or big traumas. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help the client move past the event and stop having so much reactivity in their daily lives.
