I am EMDR Certified, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I earned my MA degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and have over 10 years of experience working with clients of all ages and various issues. I have experience with clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, family conflict, phobias, marital issues, etc. I also have over 16 years of experience working with teen youth groups. Previously, I gained experience in the TV and Music industries. In my free time, I love wilderness backpacking, playing music, and being with my husband and dogs.
I help with general mental health issues and specialize in EMDR. If desired, I can also understand and relate to issues involving faith. My experience and education have included all different client ages and types of struggles. Recently, I have been working with clients dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, life changes, and communication.
I would love to have a conversation to see if I can be helpful to you during your time of need. Thank you for the opportunity to invest in your life and witness your healing and growth!

We start with providing a safe space and doing some history taking to get to know you and what you'd like help with. We then begin resourcing for EMDR, learning coping strategies as in CBT, play in the sand or with art for Play therapy, etc. We can do a mix of modalities too. All is client centered and based on rapport with safe space.
