I am pleased that you are considering choosing me for your mental health & healing journey.  

I will work with you to understand the impact of your unique life experiences.  I will be alongside you on your healing journey, to focus forward to help you make effective choices and changes in your life.  

I am a certified EMDR therapist, licensed in Kansas and Nevada, specializing in trauma recovery through Arena EMDR and focusing on work with first responders, veterans, active duty military, and victims of crime.  I earned my license as a Clinical Social Worker in 1995 in Kansas.   I have lived and worked in Nevada since 2004. I have spent my career in various public service settings with roles in clinical practice, leadership and training.

Throughout my career I have been trained in trauma treatment, collaborative service, and leadership while working with traumatized populations.  

My training and practice includes trauma treatment with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Recent Event Protocol, Equilateral (Equine Assisted EMDR), and Critical Incident Stress Management. Arena EMDR Intensives are also offered.

I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals and groups affected by trauma and difficult life experiences.  I have worked with local first and last responder agencies to provide critical incident response and counseling. As the former behavioral health coordinator for the response to the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting, I gained expertise in disaster behavioral health response by working closely with those impacted by mass violence locally, nationally and worldwide.  

My current practice focuses on working with first responders, veterans and active duty military, those impacted by mass violence, victims of violent crime, and their families.  I specialize in offering treatment for post traumatic stress injuries with Arena EMDR, as well as other equine assisted services.

I am a HEART peer support coach. HEART is a trained peer support program for those affected by the Route 91 shooting.  

I am also a provider with Give an Hour. and a member of the EMDR Trauma Recovery Network.
