My primary treatment model is EMDR, however in addition I use other models including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and Solution Focused Brief Intervention Therapy.
My heart is to work with those who are feeling overwhelmed by life, those who are seeking hope and healing from trauma, or those who are feeling isolated and looking for help finding their place to belong. My goal is to come alongside my clients and create a space where they feel comfortable and safe to be able to work through any obstacle they may be facing.

I use IFS and EMDR to treat trauma and PTSD. I am licensed in California, Tennessee, Oregon, and Colorado. I have helped clients improve self esteem, anxiety levels, depression, relational issues, phobias, lack of a sense of life direction, sleep, greater self awareness, anger issues, and more. Through teaching skills such as noticing and being with sensations, feelings, and thoughts, clients can access deeper parts of themselves. Clients get to the root of the issue, look at things in new ways, and heal the trauma that is stored in the body (by feeling it safety, with my guidance and training) rather than avoiding it.

I have extensive training in trauma informed care, IFS, EMDR and Brainspotting.
It isn't easy to ask for help. It’s easy to get discouraged in life, and in relationships. It’s hard to break patterns that keep us stuck and to move past the pain and anxieties we face. With an integrative approach to therapy, I help clients break destructive patterns, heal wounds, develop better coping strategies, improve relational skills, and gain richer understanding of themselves and others. The common challenges I work with include: sexual intimacy. codependency, anxiety, infidelity, loss, personality growth, trauma, family conflict, parenting, eating disorders, spiritual abuse and Christian spiritual direction.

We can get our heads and our hearts on the same page! I offer several different evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness & Emotional Regulation Techniques and Parts Work in order to help you feel capable of moving forward to make positive changes with less fear, doubt and self-recrimination.
Are there things in your past that you just can’t seem to get over? Sometimes when bad things happen to us it causes us to believe things about ourselves that are just not true. Intellectually we may know that we are safe now, and that we are lovable and capable human beings. However, when we’ve experienced trauma, it may still feel like deep down we are not safe, that we are not good enough, that we are not capable of moving past these events so that we can become the best version of ourselves.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
