I’d love to offer you a safe and supportive space where you stay at the center of your therapy journey. As an ICEEFT-Certified Therapist in Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy, I integrate EFT and a parts-based (IFS/IFIO) approach to help couples and individuals find a path toward healing.
Reconnecting clients to their inner worlds, through mind, body, emotion, and spirit. Other areas of training include Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) for chronic pain symptoms, Brainspotting, and EMDR to help the nervous system get back into balance. I am also trained in Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) for treating OCD.
Since you're bringing your unique experiences to the therapy room, we can tap into your own collective wisdom to increase your security with yourself, your parts, and the people in your life who matter. I am currently accepting new clients in-person and by telehealth in Arizona. If you feel I may be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you!
