Join me to connect with your inner healer and gain confidence to stay grounded as your most authentic self with ease and joy.  I am an LPC Supervisor and an RPT specializing in anxiety, mood dysregulation, ADHD, autism, parent-child relationship, developmental trauma, adoption and foster care, family of origin trauma, and school based issues.  I am attachment focused, neurodiversity affirming, and I work with clients age 4-adult using talk therapy, expressive arts therapy, sandtray, play therapy, and EMDR.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy uses the brain’s natural healing process to help people recover from trauma and other distressing experiences. As an EMDR therapist, I hold sacred space and help guide you as you connect with your own healing power. Throughout the process somatic symptoms, intrusive thoughts, and negative beliefs about self will naturally resolve without focusing energy on changing your thoughts, behaviors, or emotions.

What is Play Therapy?

Children struggle with the same complex emotions and struggles that adults do. However, children are not developmentally able to understand and process what is happening to them abstractly with talk and words. Children communicate and process their experiences through play. In traditional talk therapy, conversation is the medium for healing. In play therapy, play is the sacred space where we hold big feelings and uncomfortable thoughts together and make new meaning of the client’s experience.

Deep Dive Book Study

This book study is now full. Pease fill out the form if you would like to be contacted when I open the next cohort.

Join us and dive in to learning about atypical autism from the inside out as we study Donna Henderson’s book: Is This Autism? The book will be divided into 50 page sections and will meet for 90 minutes to reflect, discuss, case conceptualize, and explore how this informs our advocacy work. I will lead discussion, and there will be plenty of space for the group to lead us where members need to deepen understanding. I will share all materials I create to conceptualize the material with group members.  Total cost for the 5 sessions is $100 and is due at time of registration. Dates for the group are March 29, April 12, April 26, May 10, and May 24 from 9:00-10:30 AM CST.

EMDR Consultation

Join for one or all if you are seeking group EMDR consultation. Participants must share their certificate of completion from an EMDRIA Approved basic EMDR training. You may use these hours for EMDR Certification through EMDRIA, though it is not required to participate. Once you complete your enrollment form, I will contact you to complete the process. Please review the Equitable Sliding Scale when determining your fee.
