About Me
Hi, I'm Jody, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I completed my graduate work at Adelphi University in New York in 2006. After working as a clinical associate therapist at Westhampton Family Counseling, I went into private practice in 2009 in Sag Harbor and New York City. Since then I have remained in private practice and maintain licensing in New York, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
As a compliment to enhance my clinical work, I am also certified and extensively trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Experiential Therapy (CET II), Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP), Trauma-Sensitive Yoga-RYT® 200, and Psychodrama. I provide trauma-informed care focusing on attachment wounds, relationship trust and safety, and the path back to secure connection.
For 16 years, I have partnered with Onsite Workshops, in Nashville, TN, the world’s leader in therapeutic and personal growth workshops, as a contracted Clinical Supervisor and Intensive Leader facilitating many of their programs including: Living Centered, Healing Love Addiction, Reconnecting Couples, Equine Therapy Nashville, Equine Therapy Montana, Individual Intensives, Couples Intensives.
In 2015 I created EPONA RETREATS: A Majestic Adventure and Inner Journey. Many years of direct experience working with clients, coupled with my own personal experience of holistic wellness, lead me to create immersive, destination travel and wellness experiences. I've designed the program with proven experiences that heal hearts, change lives, and help to move people closer to living in their purpose, more connected relationships, and experiencing more joy. The experience takes participants out of the therapist’s office and into the world itself on a transformational journey.
My Retreat themes include:
-
Living in Passion and Purpose
-
Self-Care for the Care-giver
-
Codependency and Finding the Inner Child
-
Couples Re-start Your Fire
-
Trust after Betrayal: The Path to Safety and Trust
-
Connecting with Spirit
When I’m not working I enjoy exploring my new hometown of Asheville, NC. I love hiking and yoga, and enjoying time with family and friends. And, I spend way too much time tracking my young adult daughter in hopes of getting some of her precious time!
I hope you enjoy looking over my website and please do reach out to me if you'd like more information about any of the options or retreats you find.
