Biography

As a licensed psychotherapist specializing in trauma and grief recovery, I help adults navigate life’s most challenging transitions using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy. My approach combines traditional psychotherapy with cutting-edge EMDR techniques, creating a powerful pathway for healing from trauma, loss, and emotional distress.

Through my extensive work in disaster mental health response, hospice care, and trauma recovery, I’ve witnessed how unprocessed experiences can deeply impact our daily lives. Using EMDR therapy, I help clients gently reprocess difficult memories and experiences, reducing their emotional charge while strengthening adaptive beliefs about themselves.

What sets my approach apart is the integration of Internal Family Systems (IFS) with EMDR therapy. This combination allows us to work with different parts of yourself that may be carrying trauma or pain, while using EMDR to process and release these stored experiences. Whether you’re struggling with grief, anxiety, trauma, or life transitions, this integrated approach helps create lasting change and emotional freedom.

My practice is particularly focused on supporting:
– Individuals processing grief and loss
– Survivors of natural disasters and traumatic events
– Adults working through anxiety and trauma
– People seeking deeper emotional healing

I believe in therapy that goes beyond simply talking about problems. EMDR offers a unique opportunity to process difficult experiences through both mind and body, often leading to profound shifts in how you relate to yourself and your past. My clients frequently report feeling more connected to themselves, experiencing reduced emotional triggers, and developing greater resilience.

Currently offering both in-person sessions in Woodland Hills and online therapy throughout California and now virtually in Colorado, I provide a safe, compassionate space for your healing journey. Whether you’re new to therapy or seeking a different approach to emotional healing, I’m here to support your path toward wholeness.
