After becoming licensed as a clinical social worker in 1998, I gained extensive experience assisting diverse individuals facing a variety of situations and life stressors. Recognizing how each of us are the experts on our own needs, I work closely with clients to clearly understand their personal story, current circumstances, and to realize their hopes and dreams. I utilize an individualized, goal-oriented, holistic approach and focus on developing a therapeutic relationship to help individuals achieve a corrective emotional experience, develop their positive sense of self, heal, overcome trauma and other challenges.

Laurel Parnell’s Attachment Focused – Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (AF-EMDR) Training truly transformed my practice and equipped me to help others overcome life’s challenges. In addition to AF-EMDR, I rely most heavily on Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness, and other techniques to increase coping and well-being.

I am greatly rewarded by sharing tools and techniques I have learned over the years in assisting others to heal and improve their lives. I take my practice and partnership with clients very seriously and sincerely strive to provide high quality services and outcomes. It would be my honor to work with you.
