Hey, I'm Mandy

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change.

​

Therapy is a collaborative process. I bring clinical expertise, evidence-based approaches, and years of experience; you bring your story, goals, and resilience. Together, we work toward greater emotional well-being, healthier relationships, and a more fulfilling life.

​

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience across community mental health, schools, nonprofit organizations, and the juvenile justice system. My background also includes emergency response and crisis intervention, supporting individuals and families through trauma, high-stress situations, and significant life challenges.

 

These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide compassionate, trauma-informed care grounded in clinical expertise, emotional safety, and respect for each person's unique journey.

Healing wounds and promoting well-being.

I strive to help you find peace, balance, and self-acceptance on your journey to healing. As an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist, I have witnessed the profound transformation that occurs when clients process distressing events and past trauma. My approach is attachment-focused, guided by my training at the Parnell Institute, to ensure deep and lasting healing.

​

You can learn more about my work with EMDR in the book What Doesn’t Kill You: Hope, Answers & Inspiration for Families in an Opiate Crisis by Faith Nadina, which features an interview with me discussing EMDR therapy.

In addition to EMDR, I am trained in Brainspotting (Phase 1 & 2), a powerful, neuroscience-based technique that helps release emotional and traumatic experiences for long-term relief.

​

Healing is not a linear process, but one that unfolds through safety, connection, and attuned support. My hope is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you move toward greater ease within yourself and your relationships.

​

I look forward to connecting with you.

Mandy
