This is our first intake session. A comprehensive conversation will be had regarding what you can expect from our growing therapeutic relationship and what the healing journey may look like. 

I am uniquely trained to apply EMDR for clients that have endured acute and complex trauma. Through bilateral processing, we can engage different parts of the brain, re-wire and expand neural networks to better process and re-integrate traumatic memory.

I provide clinical consultation and supervision for clinicians in Illinois, as well as consultation for attorneys working with psychologically complex cases. Litigation consultation focuses on complex trauma, dissociation, anxiety, depression, postpartum transitions, attachment, and other psychological factors that may impact a client’s behavior, communication, judgment, or insight. Services may include case conceptualization, record review, psychoeducation, and guidance on when additional psychological or neurological evaluation may be appropriate. Consultation is educational and clinical in nature and does not constitute a forensic psychological evaluation unless separately contracted and within the appropriate scope of practice.

I am uniquely trained to create the safe container that you need to undergo emotional processing and garner a greater understanding of yourself. I practice through a trauma-focused and psychodynamic lens and infuse ego state therapy, EMDR, and attachment focused work. Fostering relational safety lives at the heart of my practice. In session, we will integrate talk therapy with effective bottom-up tools that will aim to deepen healing and connection.

For trauma survivors who suspect dissociative tendencies, I provide the Multidimensional Inventory of Dissociation (MID) and conduct the SCID-D. ​
