Our Therapy Team

I graduated from the University at Buffalo School of Social Work in 1994.  I began my career working in chemical dependency, but very quickly realized that you can’t treat addiction without looking at trauma.  My earliest experience was working with women, and realizing the barriers they had to treatment.  I worked in community mental health for several years.  I was especially interested in the relationship between trauma and addiction, and the need to treat both issues concurrently.  I also worked extensively with complex PTSD and dissociative disorders.  I also developed an expertise in the psychological impact of traumatic brain injury.  In 2008 I was trained in EMDR Therapy at the University at Buffalo.  I became certified in EMDR and eventually became in Approved Consultant in EMDR Therapy.   Throughout my career I have sought training and consultation specific to trauma.  I have list that on my resume.  In closing, I feel so honored to be doing this work.
