Discover comprehensive mental health services at Alona Wellness Center, including psychotherapy, EMDR, and evaluations, dedicated to supporting your well-being.

PSYCHOTHERAPY

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to assisting individuals through their life journey, whether that be stress, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. I am here to offer a space free of judgement. A space where you can explore your current life circumstance, consider next steps, and begin your journey to the future you you want to be.

My desire is to meet you where you are, work with you to identify your goals, and support you on your journey toward healing and wellness. I offer this service through a trauma-informed lens, often utilizing EMDR.

I have extensive experience working with individuals with trauma and intergenerational trauma, which includes being a Certified Trauma Treatment Provider.

I’ve worked with seniors, people struggling with addiction and/or codependency, with individuals/families struggling with acute and chronic illness, and teens/youth.

I offer a safe space for you to talk about things, without worrying about what you say or how you say it. You won’t have to worry about hurting someone’s feelings as you process your thoughts out loud.

In addition to EMDR, I also utilize Trauma-Informed Care, Solution-Based, Cognitive Behavioral, and Psychodynamic treatment modalities. I look forward to the honor of walking beside you on your journey.
