My path to becoming an EMDR therapist began in social work. In my early twenties, I worked in the Child Welfare System helping children and families navigate complex challenges. The experience was both rewarding and harrowing, but it provided motivation to address my own mental wellness. I sought counseling and was fortunate to find a wonderful therapist. She helped me make sense of my life experiences, learn strategies that worked, and most importantly experience the healing power of EMDR.

I’ve been a licensed counselor for over 15 years, and I find my work deeply meaningful. I’ve worked with children, families, and adults in a range of settings, including in-home services, community mental health, substance use treatment facilities, and Hospice. I currently have a private practice in Tampa Bay, FL, where I specialize in EMDR treatment for adults, with a focus on anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and transformational healing. I also offer EMDR consultation to fellow therapists. Using EMDR’s healing power to help clients and therapists unlock their authentic self and deepest potential is truly a dream come true for me.
