About Me

I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 2014. I started working in community mental health, then started my private practice in 2018. Early on, I read “The Body Keeps the Score” by Bessell VanderKulk and I realized I was going to specialize in trauma. I immediately found EMDR therapy, got trained, certified, and am now working toward becoming an EMDR Consultant (currently CIT status). EMDR therapy has been life changing for myself and my clients. It can resolve PTSD and improve relationships. Through advanced EMDR trainings, I stumbled upon Brainpsotting therapy. This filled in the gap for my complex clients unable to tolerate EMDR. Brainspotting has been another profoundly powerful modality that can clear trauma and quickly resolve distress. I also find that it organically connects people to spirituality if they are open or seeking that. It respects parts and doesn’t require a resourcing or treatment planning stage. It’s a game changer! 

My Brainspotting journey led me to Reiki and Yoga Therapy. Reiki is an alternative medicine technique that began in ancient Japan. Reiki uses healing energy that is channeled from the Reiki therapist to the patient with the goal of reducing stress, pain, and fatigue while enhancing energy. The results have been so powerful, I had to to start a second business where I can practice holistically, separately from my role as a Licensed Therapist. During the past year, led by the passion and inspiration from these above trainings, I have taken a deep dive into my own healing that had been on the back burner during the pandemic. 

I have experienced a paradigm shift personally and professionally. I now realize that to fully heal, one has to integrate the mind, body, and soul into their healing process. I am in the process of trying to expand both of my businesses into group practices so that I can help more people access these different and powerful modalities. Right now, I have a full caseload and am starting a wait list while I search for providers and try to expand the businesses. Please be patient if you are reaching out for services and know that I may only be able to offer group services for a period of time.
