About Me
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a Concentration in Traumatic Stress Psychology, an Evergreen Certified EMDR Clinician (EMDR-C), a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician (NATC), and a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS). I reside in the state of Colorado and completed licensure requirements in 2017. I have completed certification for the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology across PSYPACT-approved states (you can see if your state is approved here: https://psypact.gov/page/psypactmap). I have been providing therapeutic and psychological assessment services for eleven years, with a myriad of experiences ranging from work in inpatient, residential, and outpatient settings. I have provided individual, couples, family, and group therapies to individuals across the lifespan. The majority of my graduate experience was with adults with severe and persistent mental illness, grief & loss (loss of personal health, bereavement, loss of significant relationships), and histories of or ongoing complex trauma/ abuse. Subsequently, my clinical work has focused on trauma-based and evidence-based therapies for teens and adults.
I am certified in multiple evidence-based trauma therapies, including EMDR, Narcissistic Abuse Treatment, cognitive processing therapy, which is often used for single-incident trauma/abuse, and skills training for interpersonal and affective regulation, utilized for chronic, long-standing trauma/abuse. With respect to grief and loss, I utilize a relational constructivist approach. Additionally, I am well-versed and trained in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavior therapy(CBT) and trauma-focused therapy. I am more than happy to share my approaches to therapy to see if my perspective is a good fit for you and your goals!
