Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy &
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, providing integrative and body-centered psychotherapy to individuals and couples in California and Texas.

I specialize in working with Anxiety Disorders and the complex array of symptoms of PTSD and Complex PTSD.  I help clients use their body awareness and scientifically proven calming techniques to help regain emotional balance and calm symptoms of nervous system dysregulation stemming from a lack of resources to deal with old trauma and chronic stressors.  I find the best treatment outcomes emerge from an integration of body awareness techniques and trauma informed ways of working with the body, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or EMDR.
​
EMDR is a highly effective, evidence-based form of therapy used to treat trauma.  Research supports its effectiveness in working with PTSD as well as complex trauma from childhood that often manifests as depression, anxiety, phobias, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.
