·PhDAbout
You live with contradictions that don’t make sense – feeling flooded with emotion one moment and completely numb the next. You try to function, but part of you feels detached from the world and even from yourself. Memories come in fragments, emotions feel too big to handle, and despite years of effort, the pain still feels lodged deep inside. You hear confusing terms like “complex trauma,” “PTSD,” or “depersonalization,” but they don’t help you “move on.” You want relief that actually lasts – not another coping skill or surface-level fix, but real healing that reaches the roots of your trauma and restores your sense of wholeness. As a clinical psychologist specializing in these problems, I offer you a path through the confusion. I use advanced methods like EMDR, IFS, Gestalt Therapy, and Clinical Hypnosis to reach the roots of pain that traditional therapy often misses. Together, we’ll help your mind and body reconnect so you can feel grounded, whole, and safe within yourself again. You deserve to feel safe in your body, clear in your mind, and present in your life. I know you’ve been suffering, so I want to speak to you and start helping right away. Let’s talk about how to redeem the past and make up for lost time. It’s time to live with presence, peace, and purpose. Reach out today to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. Specialties: I help adults with trauma, depersonalization, and dissociation who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and stuck in patterns that traditional therapy hasn't resolved. This work goes beyond symptom relief—uncovering strengths, restoring self-trust, and rebuilding meaningful relationships. This process helps clients reclaim their inner strength and create a life that feels aligned, authentic, and free. Credentials & Experience: I am licensed in WA, OR, and ID so I can serve clients in those states virtually. I have specialized training to use EMDR to treat complex PTSD and dissociative disorders. As as clinical psychologist, I am trained in psychological testing to better diagnose symptoms and understand your personality.
"I offer a tailored treatment plan for each unique problem. Gestalt and IFS can help restore your relationship with yourself and more clearly see your relationships with others. EMDR offers a way to breakdown intense traumas into more manageable pieces that can be processed and released. I can create individualized audio recordings that help you practice new ways of thinking. And so much more!"
