I am so glad you are here.
I've spent the last decade learning and practicing mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
I am Certified in Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR) and have found EMDR can shift negative core beliefs in transformative ways. I am a EMDRIA Consultant-in-training and provide EMDR Consultation to EMDRIA EMDR therapists seeking foundational consultation hours or certification hours.
I am also a Certified Perinatal trauma Specialist. I have specific training in Perinatal Mental Health and receive ongoing perinatal training and consultation in my practice.
NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) treats CPTSD and provides a safe framework for addressing attachment, relationships, and developmental trauma. I have completed level II NARM training and continue NARM consultation.
I am a Kansas City native. I am LGBTQ affirming. I believe Black Lives Matter. I love traveling, learning, gardening, design, art history, and acupressure.
