I specialize in treatment for people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, co-dependency, and eating issues. I work from a trauma informed and attachment-based approach while incorporating numerous therapeutic approaches that include; EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Somatic Experiencing, DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), Energy Psychology, Ego State & Internal Family Systems, and Mindfulness-based therapy.
EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION I have worked with young children and teens in school-based community programs to help students with mood/anxiety disorders, suicidal thoughts, exposure to sex trafficking, unmanageable emotions, trauma, and life transitions. I have extensive experience working with diverse populations of adolescents, active and retired military, and adults who have eating disorders and mental health issues in residential facilities and private practices. I earned my Masters of Counseling in Marriage and Family Therapy with honors from the University of Phoenix, and earned my Bachelors of Arts in Fine Arts from San Diego State University. I have completed and continue to participate in numerous advanced trainings in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, DBT, Internal Family Systems, Ego State Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (see below for more.) Most importantly, I am a life-long learner and will ALWAYS seek out the best and most effective methods for helping others. |
