A Wilmington, North Carolina native, I completed my bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and then a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. In graduate school, I studied Integral Counseling Psychology which is a transformative, whole- person model, that seeks to engage all of the person in a growth process, not just the analytical mind. I have performed therapy with adults, children, adolescents, and families from a variety of cultural backgrounds in homes, in behavioral health facilities, in schools, and in outpatient settings. My experience and training include Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Group Dynamics, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Family Centered Treatment, Structural Family Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Transpersonal Psychotherapy. While I am informed collectively by all of these, my current therapeutic focus is EMDR. My EMDR training comes from Ricky Greenwald's Trauma Institute and Child Trauma Institute in Northampton, Massachusetts, and I am trained in EMDR, Flash, and PC.
