Education & Experience

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from the University of Northern Colorado. My clinical experience spans residential and outpatient treatment settings, including work with veterans, parents in crisis, and individuals recovering from trauma, addiction, and eating disorders. As an EMDR-trained therapist currently completing certification under an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, I incorporate EMDR with somatic resourcing, attachment repair, and object relations-based mapping. I also facilitate trauma process groups using containment, peaceful place imagery, bilateral stimulation, and experiential interventions such as the Gestalt Empty Chair technique to support emotional regulation and reparenting.
