Therapist Co-Owner
I’ve been working in Occupational Therapy for the past 30+ years specializing in Sensory Processing Disorder. I’ve assisted many people and/or families manage symptoms that can be paired with sensory processing issues, such as: autism, ADHD, ADD, cutting, bipolar, and behavioral and emotional difficulties that disrupt our daily life. As a Certified EMDR Therapist and an EMDRIA approved Consultant. I’ve paired sensory work with my EMDR skills and techniques forming an sensory-trauma informed protocol. This combination processes trauma and difficult feelings, such as anxiety and depression, at a much faster rate than other therapies. It calms down undesirable emotions and decreases impulsivity, tantrums, poor coping or communication skills. As a Certified Imago Therapist and working with clients, I have incorporated IMAGO relationship/couples techniques, along with other therapies, to help rekindle and develop a tighter the bond, trust, and connection within themselves, their families, and/or with their partner. EMDR, Imago, and sensory work are effective counseling techniques in managing difficult behaviors, emotions, and labels that may develop with these challenging issues. I’ve developed an effective expertise with Eating Disorders, Addiction, Trauma, ADHD, OCD, and other diagnoses that have been difficult to treat and master.
