About Me
My Practice & Insurance
Hello and welcome- I work exclusively with other clinicians (Psychotherapists, Psychologists, etc.) and with First Responders. I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and Consultant in Training (CIT) For 25+ years I have provided individual therapy with an Attachment Theory framework and a Trauma Informed approach. My focus with other clinicians is twofold- 1.PTSD and Acute Trauma with EMDR and Attachment Centered therapy and 2. Counseling to address blocking beliefs, to reprocess issues holding you back in your work and/or your life. With First Responders my focus is to help you reprocess the difficult calls you've experienced which may be preventing you from functioning at your best.
Beginning in summer of 2024 I am migrating billing for most clients to Headway. I accept most insurances including Medicaid and Medicare. I'm currently accepting Ambetter, Aetna, United Health Care, Healthgram, Cigna, Anthem/ Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicaid, Medicare, The Care Network, Memorial Health Partners and more.
Message me if you have questions about your insurance.
My Treatment Focus
My focus is to help you heal, reduce suffering, and become aware of you inner strengths and innate resources. We achieve this together by providing a safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.
My Commitment to You
My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life. I am willing to work as hard as you are with you to help you achieve your goals.
EMDR Consultation
Small Group or Individual Consultation
I am an EMDRIA approved Consultant In Training (CIT). I work with folks individually or in groups of up to 3 clinicians. A CIT can provide a maximum of 15 hours of consultation to an EMDR trained clinician who is working towards EMDR Certification. EMDR Certification applicants must obtain 20 hours of consultation on their use of EMDR with clients. The remaining 5 hours of consultation must come from an EMDR Consultant. I can help you locate a consultant for the final 5 hours if needed. As a CIT, I can provide a letter of recommendation for the consultee seeking certification. A letter of recommendation from an EMDR Consultant is also required for EMDR Certification applicants.
Additionally, I may be able to provide the consultation needed for completion of your basic training IF your basic trainer(s) approve me to do so. Please contact me to explore this option if desired.
Rates for Individual consultation and for group consultation are dependent on a number of factors such as whether you are doing agency work or private practice- please contact me for more information.
I have been EMDR trained since 2012 and EMDR Certified since 2019. Over those years I have worked predominantly with adults including survivors of abuse, first responders, military members (both active duty and retired). I have also focused greatly helping other clinicians process their trauma.
Therapy
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. These are the most common reasons why people seek treatment from a therapist. Through counseling and treatment, I can help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
EMDR, Trauma, Acute Stress and PTSD
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a unique form of therapy that is well proven to alleviate the debilitating symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and other conditions. Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. I can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. If you have experienced a recent traumatic event and are looking for help to process the event, EMDR can prevent PTSD from occurring.
