In order to achieve clinical excellence for clients, a therapist must be assertive, warm, and intentional. She must also be educated and trained in the most effective treatment modalities.

In addition to two Masters Degrees in Psychology and Education, I have extensively trained in advanced methods for both relational complex trauma and attachment-focused EMDR.

After teaching and leading research at Vanderbilt University and Stanford University School of Medicine for 20 years, the evidence-based approach and standard of excellence that I’ve always practiced is paramount in supporting you.
