Education & Experience

I’m a Colorado Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR therapist who has been working with trauma and stress-related concerns for more than 15 years.

I work with adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, difficult life experiences, and the emotional impact of high-stress work. I integrate EMDR with somatic and nervous-system-based approaches to help clients better understand what is happening in their bodies and develop a greater sense of safety, regulation, and choice. I also offer EMDR intensives for clients who are looking for a more focused approach to their work.

In addition to my clinical practice, I provide EMDR consultation to clinicians working toward EMDR certification. I especially enjoy helping clinicians strengthen their conceptualization, develop confidence with EMDR, work through challenging cases, and better understand their own responses within the therapeutic relationship. My consultation style focuses on finding and growing your strengths while finding the questions you don't know you have. I like to develop both clinical skill and confidence.

Whether you are considering EMDR for yourself or are a clinician looking for consultation, I believe meaningful change happens through a combination of safety, curiosity, and support.
