Seeking counseling can feel daunting, but finding a counselor you feel comfortable with is crucial. Therapists are trained in maintaining confidentiality, making us great secret keepers. I want your counseling experience to be a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story and begin the healing process.
I offer virtual EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) therapy using the secure online platform SimplePractice. This provides a convenient and secure location for therapy sessions of your choice. As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, I can provide therapy anywhere in the state of PA or NJ.
I am certified in EMDR by EMDRIA, the governing body of EMDR. I am also certified in Dissociative Disorders through the Institute for Creative Mindfulness and trained in Somatic EMDR with The Embody Lab. Somatic therapy is a technique that helps clients connect with sensations in their bodies. It's important to note that EMDR is not hypnosis. It doesn't make you forget memories; it helps heal the emotional impact of those memories. During EMDR desensitization (eye movements or tapping), you are in full control and awareness. I have personally experienced healing through EMDR therapy. Please watch the videos on my “Services” page for a deeper understanding of what to expect.
I am also trained in Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) Level 1. DBR is a gentle, body-based trauma therapy that helps resolve the deepest, earliest layers of emotional pain—often the ones that words can’t easily reach. Developed by psychiatrist Dr. Frank Corrigan, DBR focuses on the moment immediately preceding a survival response (such as fight, flight, or freeze).
If you are open to alternative methods of healing, I am the therapist for you. My approach is personalized rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.
Have you experienced childhood abuse (emotional, verbal, physical, sexual, or spiritual)? Are you an adult experiencing dissociative qualities? I specialize in trauma recovery and can assist you on this delicate journey to healing. This process requires care, time, and understanding, and I can provide the support you need.
If you're reading this, you may feel anxious, frustrated, or overwhelmed; allow me to help you transform those feelings. I can assist you in overcoming obstacles that have you feeling stuck so you can move forward in your life. I work with adult clients who are seeking healing and are open to exploring childhood trauma.
