My areas of focus include trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, religious trauma, military sexual trauma (MST), first responders, active-duty military personnel and veterans, and reproductive and hormonal life transitions, including perinatal experiences, perimenopause, and menopause. I also have additional training in dissociation and complex trauma.

My therapeutic approach primarily draws from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with somatic approaches and integration of these modalities based on each client's needs. I also offer therapy intensives that may incorporate EMDR, IFS, and other approaches to support more focused therapeutic work.

I have experience working with adolescents, but my practice does not specialize in treating children.

I value thoughtful, honest, and open communication. I encourage clinicians to bring their questions, share their clinical experiences and challenges, reflect on their work, and remain open to feedback and new perspectives. You don't have to have all the answers, use clinical language, or put on a professional mask here. Come as you are, be real about what you're experiencing, and feel comfortable asking questions, expressing uncertainty, and talking through the messy parts of clinical work and running a practice.

Whether we're discussing EMDR, other clinical approaches, or the realities of running a private practice, consultation is most valuable when we can engage in genuine, collaborative conversations.

Please arrive on time and ready to make the most of our time together. This allows us to focus on your questions, goals, and the areas where you would most benefit from consultation.

I'm a down-to-earth kind of gal who believes consultation is valuable at every stage of a therapist's career. No matter how much experience we have, there will always be cases that challenge us, questions we can't easily answer, and opportunities to learn. I seek consultation myself when I need another perspective, and I believe we do our best work when we're willing to ask for help.

I value our profession and enjoy working with clinicians who want to strengthen their skills, think critically about their work, and continue learning. Good consultation is both informative and reflective. It's an opportunity to explore clinical decisions, consider how our own experiences and perspectives influence our work, and approach challenges with curiosity rather than judgment.

We'll work together to identify your consultation goals, whether you're looking for a single session to work through a clinical or business question, ongoing clinical consultation, EMDR certification hours, or consultation toward becoming an EMDRIA Approved Consultant.

I'll encourage creative thinking, offer feedback and alternative perspectives, and help you work through self-doubt when it gets in the way. I don't expect to have every answer, either. If a question falls outside my knowledge, I'll seek out reliable information and follow up with you. When appropriate, I'll also recommend educational resources or connect you with consultants whose expertise better fits your needs.
