Who I Am

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist and coach that specializes in treating individuals from a trauma informed therapeutic approach and am EMDRIA Certified in EMDR, as well as an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. When I am not providing psychotherapy, coaching or consultation to other Therapists trained in EMDR I attempt to engage in as many activities from Dr. Dan Siegel’s Healthy Mind Platter as I can to try and live as much of a balanced life as possible. I try to stay connected with others by spending time with family, and friends, maintaining my physical health by eating nutritious healthy foods(mostly), staying active through surfing, and regular exercise, and relaxing by watching movies, meditating, and strumming an acoustic guitar. I also try to continue along my path of self actualization as a person and a clinician by utilizing the same methods I use with my clients with myself, constantly taking mental health trainings, engaging in mindfulness practice, and most importantly by trying to consistently get as much sleep as possible, which can sometimes be a challenge for us all, but at least for me very worth the effort as everything in life goes better when we get the sleep we need.
