I specialize in Attachment-Informed EMDR and Ego State therapy (parts work) to help adults process childhood trauma, neglect, and early experiences of feeling unseen or unheard.
Many of the struggles we carry—intense emotions, relationship patterns, or feeling stuck—can be traced back to early attachment experiences. I work especially well with Gen X adults who want to understand and heal these deeper patterns. Using EMDR and parts work, we gently process past experiences so you can feel more grounded, connected, and present in life

I specialize in working with adults 24 and older, seniors, women, anxiety, dissociation, and complex trauma and licensed in California, Utah, and Colorado.
I imagine you're here because you want a new approach to therapy. Often times individuals have done therapy once or twice and, finding it helpful, they feel ready to take the reins of their mental health once more. When clients come to me, they are often at a point where they want a deeper approach to their work, one that doesn't just talk about the issues, but goes into the issues for real and true relief, leading to the freedom from emotions that they truly need. My core intention is to help others find within themselves meaning, resilience, and personal freedom.

Maybe you don't even know exactly what's wrong. You just know you don't feel like yourself. You're anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in your own head. Maybe something in your life has changed, or you've been feeling this way for so long that you're finally ready to do something different. You might be figuring out who you are, adjusting to motherhood, struggling in your relationships, or realizing that things from your past are still affecting you today. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to have it all figured out before starting therapy.
