I'm a Clinical Psychologist with 18 years experience licensed in 42 states.
I am certified in EMDR and IFS-Informed EMDR and have advanced training in sex therapy and evidenced based interventions for couples work. Learn more about how I practice here.
Outside of my therapist life, I prioritize time with my family and double down on what fuels me — running, coffee and hip hop.
ADVANCED TRAINING
Couples Therapy
I have advanced training in Gottman Couples Therapy, a research-based approach that strengthens relationships by improving communication, managing conflict, and deepening emotional connection. I also have completed in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), which helps partners understand and express emotions to build a secure, lasting bond. Together, these methods support couples in creating a strong foundation of emotional intimacy and secure attachment.
EMDR
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy designed to help people heal from trauma, anxiety, and other distressing life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain process and release painful memories that may be "stuck" or unresolved. This process provides relief from emotional triggers, reduces negative beliefs about themselves, and yields more groundedness in the present. Many clients find EMDR helps them move through pain quickly and deeply, often leading to lasting emotional healing and greater peace of mind.
Sex Therapy
I have advanced training in sex therapy for individuals and couples. Sex therapy can include treatment for issues related to desire and arousal, performance anxiety, pain and discomfort during sex, as well as concerns around communication, intimacy, identity, and relationship dynamics. It can also address emotional and psychological concerns related to sex, sexual identity and behavior. I have experience working with clients engaged in kink, consensual non-monogamy, and other forms of relationship diversity.
Internal Family Systems Informed EMDR
IFS-informed EMDR is a powerful, compassionate approach to healing trauma that blends two Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This integrated method recognizes that we all have different "parts" within us—such as inner critics, protectors, or wounded younger selves—and works to gently process pain while honoring all these inner parts. By combining the structured, trauma-focused techniques of EMDR with the self-awareness and internal connection of IFS, this approach helps clients achieve a deeper sense of healing.
