EMDR Training with heart and science.
Train with experts. Heal with compassion.

A bit about me: I started my career 22 years ago working in public school settings, private practice, inpatient substance abuse centers, and foster care group homes. During these early years, I placed a strong emphasis on assessment and clinical evaluations. Fifteen years ago, I started Kingwood Psychotherapy & Assessment Center and slowly gravitated away from formalized assessments and more toward the treatment side of working with clients. This new focus eventually led me to seek EMDR training with Compassion Works in 2018 and it completely transformed the way I view trauma treatment. In addition to my EMDR training, I also completed a 3-year advanced trauma and dissociation study course taught by the wonderful Jean Goodwin, M.D., Ph.D. through the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD). <span style="font-family: Raleway, sans-serif;font-size: 15px;color: #2a2a2a">​Currently, I primarily approach my work from the therapy perspectives of EMDR, sandtray, polyvagal theory, and ego state work, which includes an emphasis on how </span><span style="font-family: Raleway, sans-serif;font-size: 15px;color: #222222">unconscious psychological processes may be related to current patterns of relating, feeling, and behaving. I consider myself to be an out-of-the box creative thinker who uses a variety of therapeutic techniques to facilitate the healing process, including parts work, art therapy techniques, and role play.</span> I was fortunate to have the opportunity to join Compassion Works as a Training Consultant in 2025 and have been so grateful to work with such amazing colleagues! The trainings and consultation calls I have been a part of have been a ton of fun. The magic of EMDR never gets old!
