I am an EMDRIA-Approved EMDR Therapist. I also use traditional talk therapy with my clients. My therapeutic approach is based on the individual's specific needs. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of therapy that enables you to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. No longer does your past have to be your present. If it is causing you distress, there are interventions that you can use to transcend your suffering. I would love to assist you on your journey of healing. Let us work together to decide what would be the best approach for you.

You thought it would be easy starting a family. Yet, month after month, you are faced with another failed pregnancy attempt. Perhaps you've had several losses and question the possibility of having a baby. You've tried everything and nothing is working. You feel helpless, hopeless, and lost. You've never felt such grief or betrayal by your own body. Perhaps you were able to have a healthy baby. Yet, somehow, nothing about your birth experience went as planned. Now, you're left feeling betrayed, hurt, and maybe scared of having another baby. Situations like these can shake our world and our faith. Please know that you are not alone.

Have you lost track of who you are? Do you ACTUALLY like yourself? Do you wonder if you'll EVER be good enough? Maybe you need someone to talk to who won't judge or accuse you of overthinking. The good news? You aren't crazy! Your fears ARE real, & they're making you miserable! Imagine actually having healthy relationships. Imagine being SO secure in yourself that you can set expectations high & EXCEED them. Imagine writing the script for your own life, instead of letting others do that for you. What if you could become the best version of yourself?

Throughout our lifespan, we will be faced with transitions. Children experiences changes within the family as well as school, friends, and daily routine. Then there’s puberty, which brings about a whole new set of changes in a teenager. Early adulthood is full of change, as well as a search for meaning and purpose. Marriage, divorce, birth of children, death of parents, middle age, retirement, and on and on! Sometimes we can move through these transitions smoothly; however, other times it doesn’t go quite as well.

The most common need I hear from clients is that they have done a lot of talk therapy in the past and they are stuck. I get it. That's the client I'm excited to work with. My ideal client is one who wants to do the work because I show up for my half of the therapeutic relationship. I bring my varied 24 years of experience to every session. My specialties are complex trauma and addiction, and this also encompasses obsessive overthinking, chronic low self-confidence, generalized anxiety, relationship issues, etc. Therapy is a team effort to make lasting changes outside of the therapy environment.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists

How does cognitive processing therapy work?

A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.

What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?

Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.

How long does cognitive processing therapy last?

CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.

How effective is cognitive processing therapy?

A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
