My Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy is helping people to heal from the inside out. We all have a lifetime of experiences (good and bad) that have shaped the way we respond to ourselves, our relationships, and our environments. I am committed to creating a safe space for clients to process their deepest hurts and traumas so they can experience a healing they never knew was possible!
I offer accelerated trauma healing experiences through EMDR Intensives. Intensives are an alternative to traditional 1-hour weekly sessions. They allow focused, uninterrupted time for deep, meaningful, lasting healing. In therapy sessions and intensives, I use “bottom-up” approaches such as EMDR, parts therapy, somatic therapy, and inner-child work to help clients achieve their emotional and relational goals.
My Therapy Training
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed in the state of Nevada (#1515) since 2017. I earned my master’s degree in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix in 2013 and have been building my private therapy practice since 2015. I completed EMDR Basic Training in 2017 and became an EMDRIA Certified Therapist in 2022. I am currently an EMDRIA Approved Consultant in Training, continuing to deepen my expertise and commitment to EMDR and trauma-focused therapy. I am also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, providing clinical guidance and mentorship to fellow therapists.
About Me Personally
Originally a Kansas girl, I moved to the Las Vegas Valley in 2003. I married the love of my life in 2011 and became a mother in 2015. I love the chaos of balancing the roles of wife, mom, therapist, sister, daughter, and friend. I am an extrovert by nature, so I am always looking to spend time with the people I love. Whether it is traveling with my family, having coffee with a friend, or cuddling with my therapy pups… I love it all!
