Therapy

I am a certified EMDR therapist who specializes in working with trauma. My framework is helping you understand yourself by examining your past. We discuss the most impactful moments of your life - both positive and negative. If the negative moments are still distressing, we can reprocess them using EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). We identify the negative beliefs about yourself, what you’d rather believe, body sensations, and emotions associated with those memories - to help you not erase the memories, but come to a neutral state while thinking about them.

That being said, not every client is a candidate for EMDR therapy and it’s just one tool that I can use. I also don’t like endlessly processing the past and I like helping clients move forward into creating lives they enjoy. Sessions are collaborative and we may have structured EMDR sessions and other times we talk about current issues - including relationships, work, health, hobbies, triggers, goals, setting boundaries, or whatever it is you want to talk about. I help you get to know yourself - what makes you - you, understand your negative beliefs about yourself and learn how to challenge those beliefs so you can actually change rather than staying stuck. My aim is to help empower you to take control of your life and change your patterns in relationships, negative beliefs and actions.

I work with individual adult men and women and couples - who are willing to see their part and work on themselves as we can’t change others, but we can change ourselves. If you are willing to take an honest look at yourself (which can be scary and difficult!), I’d love to help guide you on a self-discovery journey to uncover shame and fear; and experience compassion, healing, and joy to create a life that you love.

COST:

My sessions are 60 minutes and I prefer in-person sessions although I do offer virtual appointments. My fee is $150 / session for individuals and $180 for couples.

I accept Loma Linda Risk Management and Optum/United Healthcare insurance, and for all other insurances I can give you a superbill to send to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement.

I offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation to determine if we’re a good fit. This is mandatory before scheduling sessions with couples as I must ensure each party is willing to work on themselves and see their part in the relationship (and not stay stuck in blaming their partner for their wrong-doings).

I’d love to connect so feel free to reach out! I look forward to hearing from you.
