LCSW, LCADC Ivy Counseling Group
Specialties: Trauma, Sexual Abuse, Substance Use, Domestic Violence

Introduction

I am a doctoral level social worker with expertise in treating complex trauma in adults. My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic and based in attachment theory. In addition to using traditional psychotherapy techniques, I utilize EMDR, Sensory Motor Psychotherapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy for treating the symptoms of PTSD and complex trauma. If your life is impacted by early childhood experiences of relational, emotional, physical and sexual abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault or other traumatic events I can help. Recovery from trauma is possible!
