With over 22 years of experience, I have the deepest respect for my clients. I acknowledge the courage and commitment it takes for you to begin this journey of therapy. Utilizing EMDR, art therapy, and traditional talk therapy, I blend my skills to help meet your needs, assisting you in recovering from issues related to loss, grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, sexual abuse, life transitions, or self-esteem. There is life in embracing both the pain and the joy. I provide Christian based therapy encouraging individuals to reclaim their hearts and hold onto hope.
I hold the dual qualification of LMFT and ATR. Licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist (MFT 35838) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR 01-016). I am EMDR Certified and trained in Trauma-Focused CBT. I have extensive experience in recovery from sexual abuse. I work with children and adolescents as well as adults.
EMDR Therapy shows that the mind can heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. For more information: www.emdr.com. Are you curious about Art Therapy? You don't need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. Images often say what words cannot. Learn more: www.americanarttherapyassociation.org
