I have a passion for helping people navigate understanding and processing traumatic experiences in their lives and helping them more fully accept their story. ALERE was founded on this mission. I have 20 years of experience in working with individuals and couples, supporting them in working through some of the most challenging experiences of their lives with patience, compassion, strength and understanding. I am a Linehan Institute trained provider of the Advanced DBT Protocols for Prolonged Exposure Therapy. I am also Level II trained in EMDR and have clinical training in use of Somatic Experiencing and Internal Family Systems interventions. I have completed the MAPS Therapist training for MDMA-Assisted psychotherapy (2021) and am currently completing the IPI training for certifications in KAP and PAT. I am Level 3 trained in the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy; and am working toward becoming Certified.
