About Me

I am a certified EMDR therapist and a Consultant-in-Training. I offer consultation for individuals and groups of EMDR trained therapists who would like support and guidance in providing EMDR as well as those who are pursuing EMDR certification. I desire for therapy to be a collaborative effort with treatment designed for each unique individual that I serve. I work with children, teens, and adults. I value the power of the therapeutic relationship, which research has consistently shown to be at least as important as the type of treatment used. I draw from multiple theoretical orientations and research-proven treatment modalities although my primary modality of therapy has been shifting towards EMDR, whenever applicable over the past 5 years. I have used EMDR in treating trauma, addictive behaviors (e.g. self-injury, addictive relationships, sexual addictions...), substance use addictions, anxiety disorders, and eating disorders. I often combine play therapy interventions and sand tray with EMDR. Sense of humor is an essential therapeutic tool for me. While respecting the spiritual beliefs of all clients, I have a special interest in the integration of Christian faith and therapy, only for those desiring such integration. I have learned much from my clients over the past 3 decades and find it a privilege to journey alongside.
