Licensed Mental Health Counselor
​WA state and Nevada

I am a fully licensed psychotherapist. I see clients virtually in both Washington state and Nevada. My specialty is trauma work but I also focus on anxiety and depression as well as many other areas. I came into this field through my own personal trauma work. I experienced such a transformation that I decided I wanted to help others do the same. 

I mainly utilize a few modalities including EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Ego State Therapy, Schema Therapy, DBT and Hypnotherapy. I have immense compassion for those who carry unhealed pain and feel stuck in their lives but don't understand why. I help clients dismantle all that is not their true self so they can live freely and expansively. 

EMDR

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, commonly known as EMDR, is a mental health therapy method. EMDR treats mental health conditions that happen because of memories from traumatic events in your past. It’s best known for its role in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but its use is expanding to include treatment of many other conditions.
​

Schema Therapy

Schemas are ways that you organize your thoughts and behaviors to interpret information. Sometimes, early maladaptive schemas can influence how you view the world and cause you to cope with stress in harmful ways.
Schema therapy integrates various psychotherapy modalities into one model and aims to help people deal with those early maladaptive schemas. Schema therapy can also help you change unhelpful behavior into more adaptive coping methods.
Schema therapy can be helpful for individuals diagnosed with personality disorders. It can also be helpful for those with depression, anxiety, or eating disorders who haven’t responded well to other forms of treatment.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centered approach that aims to integrate sensorimotor processing with traditional psychotherapy. It is based on the idea that the body holds the memories and sensations of unresolved trauma and attachment issues. It uses the bodily experiences of the client as a gateway to awareness and healing. It is particularly effective in treating trauma and attachment issues. It incorporates current findings from neuroscience.

Ego State Therapy

Ego state therapy is a therapeutic approach that views the personality as composed of separate parts, often referred to as ego states. These states represent different aspects of the self that correspond to roles, behaviors, feelings, and experiences. The therapy aims to help individuals understand and integrate these various states to achieve a more harmonious and functional whole.

KAP - Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
coming soon!

I am currently being trained to practice KAP! ​Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative, evidence-based treatment that combines the therapeutic effects of ketamine with the support and guidance of psychotherapy. Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic used at sub-anesthetic doses, can create a non-ordinary state of consciousness that allows individuals to access deeper emotional material, shift rigid thought patterns, and experience a sense of spaciousness or relief from chronic distress.
In a safe, professionally guided setting, KAP can support healing from treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma by enhancing neuroplasticity and reducing defensive barriers to inner exploration. The integration process — weaving insights from the ketamine experience into everyday life — is where much of the lasting transformation occurs.
