As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) I specialize in the treatment of trauma and practice in a manner that provides a supportive environment that encourages and guides clients to expand their capacities and improve their quality of living. My practice philosophy is rooted in the evidence-based practices of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). My areas of expertise include Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, other Trauma and Stress Related Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, mood disorders, self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation. I am focused on providing short- and long-term individualized psychotherapy to my clients. Trauma affects the body’s physiology because traumatic memories are stored in both the body and the mind. I am trained in Restorative Yoga which is an evidence-based intervention for trauma, stress and chronic pain. I offer the opportunity to incorporate these practices into your individualized treatment.
