My goal as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker is to facilitate compassionate healing in a safe, supportive, & respectful environment.  To alleviate client suffering through Integrative Modified-EMDR Psychotherapy that is customized to the client’s unique situation & needs.   My focus is on helping people heal from psychological wounds that are connected to trauma and loss.

My areas of expertise are in the areas of treating survivors of PTSD, acute & complex, and Grief & Loss.

I am certified trained in EMDR Therapy, Brainspotting (phase-1), and IADC Grief Therapy (Induced After-Death Communication).

IADC (Grief) Therapy was developed by Allan L. Botkin, Ph.D., in 1995.  It is a modified form of EMDR that focuses on reducing the intense grief-related sadness and unresolved issues that may be blocking a person’s receptivity to an ADC.  By processing this sadness, it induces a receptivity to an experiential reconnection with their deceased loved one, which can have a profound healing effect for the bereaved client.    (https://www.induced-adc.com)

I earned my B.A. degree in Psychology from Boston University in 1987, and an MSW, Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Houston in 1991. I have over 30 years of work experience in the mental health field.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Louisiana – # 7754.
