EMDR & trauma therapy in California & Arizona
Sound like you?
On the outside, you seem like a go-getter, someone who shows up for everyone and everything, able to tackle anything that comes at you. But just below the surface you feel like you’re drowning in racing thoughts, always on edge, and constantly stumbling on triggers. You’ve lost touch with who you really are and notice you’re pushing loved ones away. You’re not sure how to get it, but you’re ready for relief.
Reclaim your story and live with a sense of freedom and confidence
I’m here for you.
As a trauma and EMDR therapist, my goal is to create a safe space where you can begin to heal from past experiences that have been holding you back. Through techniques like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), we’ll work together to process distressing memories, reduce their emotional intensity, and develop healthier ways to cope. My aim is to help you break free from the impact of past trauma, regain a sense of control, and move forward with more resilience and peace. You don’t have to carry that weight any longer.
You’re not alone
EMDR & trauma therapy helps you heal, regain control, and move forward with peace
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trauma therapy offer powerful tools to help you heal from past wounds and regain control over your life. Through structured sessions, these therapies allow you to process painful memories and emotions in a way that reduces their emotional intensity. By targeting the root of the trauma, EMDR helps rewire your brain’s response, making it easier to confront and move past distressing experiences without being overwhelmed by them. This method supports deep emotional healing, helping you reclaim a sense of safety and emotional stability.
In trauma therapy, you’ll not only address past pain but also develop healthier coping strategies for the future. Together, we’ll work on giving you the skills to face challenges with greater resilience, manage difficult emotions, and build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. The ultimate goal is to help you move forward with a sense of peace, free from the constant weight of past experiences. With the right support, you can create a life where you feel empowered and in control with a sense of peace.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy for trauma helps you find emotional freedom and stability
Your life can change. You are capable of breaking through, of healing, and of reclaiming your life. EMDR is different because:
You are not required to share a detailed re-telling of every aspect of a traumatic event
It provides structure to your healing process
You will develop general coping tools that apply to your whole life, but also personalized coping skills to address specific situations
You’ll leave every session knowing how effective EMDR has been in resolving your trauma
It is the scientifically proven, gold-standard treatment for anxiety, trauma, stress
I’ll be there to support you every step of the way. I have the honor of watching people recover from hopelessness and despair every day through the process of EMDR. My mission is to equip you with the insight, tools, and motivation you need to finally be free from the past. I’m here for you. Reach out and request a free consultation today.

Frequently asked questions —
-
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is not talk therapy. We’ll be confronting past trauma head on, and you’ll notice progress each session.
We’ll work to build specific tools to mange stress in between sessions while also tackling stressful memories that are impacting your present. You measure your progress using objective tools after each session so you can be sure we’re on the right track.
Most clients benefit from a hybrid approach to trauma therapy where we alternate EMDR one week and then talk therapy the next. This gives you a chance to process current life issues while also healing from your past.
-
I charge $200 per 55-minute session and $350 per 85-minute session.
-
Most people find meeting weekly is the best place to start. However, personal goals, time-commitment and finances might make biweekly sessions more manageable for some.
In terms of duration to remain in therapy, I have found that I work with most of my clients shorter-term (about six months). But it is not unusual to come into therapy with a specific issue, find that the issue is resolved in a month or two of counseling, and decide to move to “as-needed” sessions.
