How does eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) work and how can it help?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based approach that helps your brain process and integrate difficult experiences. When something overwhelming happens, your brain may not fully process it, which can cause it to feel “stuck.” EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to help your brain reprocess those memories so they no longer feel as intense or present. Clients often notice that memories feel more distant, less emotionally charged, and no longer shape how they see themselves or the world in the same way. EMDR can be especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, negative self-beliefs, and patterns that feel hard to change through talk therapy alone.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Arizona. I have over 6 years of experience in the field servicing adolescents and adults who have experienced adverse life events, life transitions, grief/loss, and low self-esteem. I currently specialize in working with women and helping professionals who are used to being the strong one and need a space where they can settle and come home to themselves. I believe that healing happens when we are seen, supported, and offered safety. This is the environment I aim to create in our work together. I am deeply passionate and honored to be in a role that allows me to guide others on their path to healing.

What's your experience with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)?
I am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist and also an approved Consultant in Training meaning that I can offer Consultation to therapists who are EMDR trained and seeing Certification. I completed my first EMDR training in 2015 and have been using it as my primary modality/intervention ever since. I have found it to be the most effective for my clients to process trauma and other stressors so that they can come back to themselves, living fully present in their own bodies and enjoying life and relationships in a way that maybe they never have or haven't in a while. I offer in person and virtual EMDR services and am trained in several (EMDRIA approved) variations on the standard protocol. I combine other areas of professional training such as DBT, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Self-Compassion, and attachment based therapies into my delivery/facilitation of EMDR as appropriate.
I am an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. I am an Army veteran and am passionate about providing trauma therapy for military, veterans, law enforcement officers and first responders. I offer Extended EMDR sessions (not covered by insurance), EMDR Intensives (not covered by insurance) and EMDRIA Consultation for clinicians seeking Certification. I graduated from Grand Canyon University in 2016, earning a Master of Science in Professional Counseling. I have worked in a variety of settings from community mental health, crisis response, to group practices.
