About Me

Professional Me:

As someone with lived experience, it is truly an honor to work with folks who have experienced trauma and those who are dissociative systems. 

 

For those interested in specifics: I finished undergraduate from University of Cincinnati in 2015 with a double major in psychology and sociology. I completed University of Maryland, Baltimore’s Master of Social Work program in 2017 and spent the next five years working in crisis response.

 

After transitioning to private practice, I have been able to focus on what I love most - supporting folks who have experienced trauma. I completed my EMDR training through Insight Counseling Center and continued training through the Institute for Creative Mindfulness (ICM). I completed ICM’s Advanced Certificate in Dissociative Studies and also began the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation’s (ISSTD) Advanced Certificate program. I am a member of EMDRIA and ISSTD. ​
 

• ICM Advanced Certificate: completed summer 2024

• EMDRIA EMDR Certification: completed summer 2024

• EMDRIA Consultant in Training: began summer 2024

• ISSTD Advanced Certificate: anticipated summer 2026 ​

 

I’ve also taken or am planning to take this year:
