Education & Experience

Early on in my career as a therapist, I utilized traditional talk therapy approaches and realized while they were helpful, there was something missing. When I was trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and learned how trauma affects our system as a whole (mind, body, and spirit), my lens as a therapist in Phoenix shifted to a much more holistic approach. I believe in trauma-informed care which is treating patients who may have a history of trauma with respect and keeping their previous experiences in mind so as to not re-traumatize them.
