Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Gig Harbor, WA

I take an active role in therapy and typically don't do the minimalistic responses - though there is a time and place for this. I like to have conversational-style dialogue with clients, and feel that I am open and empathic while bringing in humor and "realness" to the session; I show up as my true self as much as possible.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M University, and my MS in Counseling Psychology from SMU.

The primary modalities I find most impactful are EMDR (I am an EMDRIA Certificied EMDR Therapist and EMDR Consultant-In-Training/CIT) with an attachment-focused and polyvagal theory lens.

I hold advanced training in EMDR, ART, Brainspotting, Trauma Conscious Yoga Method, and others. I am an expert in treating trauma with medication-assisted psychotherapy and have completed numerous trainings in training from MAPS PBC, as well as a year-long fellowship in with the Integrative Psychiatry Institute (Headway does not allow these services on their platform).

I am licensed in over 15 states and am a board-approved Associate counselor supervisor in multiple states as well, where I oversee the required supervised hours of associate-level counselors working towards their full licensure status.

In my non-therapy time, I enjoy cooking (and eating - I'm a bit of a foodie), concerts, reading, traveling, being outside, pilates (all hail the reformer!), and playing golf with my husband. We live in Austin, TX with our dog, Otter.
