About me

Hi! I’m Wood, and I’m an EMDR therapist. Like most of my clients, my life took unexpected twists and turns to lead me to where I am today. Before going back to school for my MSW, I graduated undergrad with an industrial and systems engineering degree. As such, I work with individuals struggling to navigate their current experiences, especially those who feel the roots of their issues lie in their past. Aside from EMDR, I make use of an eclectic mix of dialectics, parts work, and existential concepts to help my clients find the peace they need in order to grow and thrive. 

While I have evolved a much more holistic approach to my understanding of people and their life circumstances since my undergrad days, I still utilize my analytical nature to assist clients in recognizing the patterns that influence their lives. Identifying patterns can be a rewarding and enlightening experience for my clients, but I recognize that awareness is only the first step on the journey to change. 

Because I believe that is the goal of therapy: Change. I understand that change can be a very frightening concept for people. Many of us don’t know where to begin - what changes do we want to make? How do we go about making them? I make use of dialectical concepts and parts work to help you answer these questions for yourself, and EMDR to work through past trauma to help you create the sense of security you need to take action. By approaching the challenges you face from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective, together we can ensure you have the necessary resources and support to successfully navigate the twists and turns of your own journey. ​

​

I promise to meet you where you are in life and work with you to progress toward you where you want to be.
