ABOUT THE THERAPIST

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tucson, AZ with over 15 years of experience in behavioral health.  I obtained my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point and Master’s degree in Clinical Health Psychology from Northern Arizona University.   I promote various mindfulness techniques to help obtain therapeutic goals. 

​

Treatment modalities I utilize include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).  Furthermore, I am a certified EMDR therapist who works with adults individually from diverse backgrounds.  EMDR certification involves thorough, superior training to possess the ability and understanding necessary to be a competent EMDR practitioner.  EMDR is common for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but can also be used it as an effective treatment of OCD, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, phobias, and panic disorders.  I am also trained in EMDR "flash technique" therapy.   Here is a link for more information: https://flashtechnique.com/wp/

​

Therapy services are offered via teletherapy (audio and visual sessions) only.  I have been pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of teletherapy services since switching to distance therapy services April 2020.  I am able to offer the same therapeutic modalities through distance therapy as I was with in-person sessions.  Moreover, I am able to offer EMDR therapy with the use of the online platform remotEMDR.  Two requirements I ask of clients interested in teletherapy is that you have a quality internet connection and a private location for our sessions. 

​

Additional benefits of teletherapy include: 

• Receiving services via teletherapy allows you to receive services at times or in places where the service may not otherwise be available.

• Receive services in a fashion that may be more convenient and less prone to delays than in-person meetings.

• Receive services when you are unable or unwilling to travel to the service provider’s office.
