I am also a relationship expert with a PhD in marriage and family therapy and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-S, LICSW).

Many of my clients choose alternative methods for dealing with anxiety and depression instead of prescription medication. I am also a certified herbalist and a yoga practitioner. I'm not just EMDR "trained", but also certified with advanced hours in trauma. I am trained in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), CPT (cognitive processing), and I’m a certified facilitator for Prepare/Enrich (marital & premarital).
