I am licensed in Arizona, Florida, and Kansas. Since everyone's needs are different, I have learned to adapt my approach to the individual and their particular goals. Self-motivation to find healing is paramount to start the healing process. I primarily work with professionals and executives. Additionally, I am a clinical supervisor and also work with Somatic Experiencing students to assist them with obtaining their certification. I am in network in multiple insurance providers in multiple states. Please inquire if you would like to have your insurance run before scheduling with me. My practice is Telehealth.
The primary modalities I use are Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Dynamic Attachment Repatterning Experience (DARe). Nervous system dysregulation is daunting. I find joy in supporting people in expanding their windows of tolerance as well as moving through difficult memories. Trauma healing looks different for everyone so extensive psychoeducation is provided.
If you feel I can be helpful for you, please reach out by email. I provide free consultation sessions to all new clients so that you can see if I am the right fit for you. If your needs are different from what I can offer, I will happily find a referral for you that may better suit you. You deserve to start this journey!
