Experienced Trauma-Informed Therapy Services
As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in integrating evidence-based therapies to help individuals navigate trauma, stress, and life transitions. My practice is rooted in a client-centered approach, combining Humanistic Psychotherapy, EMDR Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Somatic Therapies. I am EMDR Certified and serve as an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, with advanced training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). My expertise extends to trauma-informed care for complex and developmental trauma, including PTSD, emotional dysregulation, and attachment injuries. I utilize the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model in EMDR to reprocess traumatic memories, promoting healing through bilateral stimulation. My work also incorporates Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to address the physiological imprint of trauma.I provide telehealth services across California, Hawaii, Florida, and Virginia, ensuring accessibility while maintaining rigorous ethical standards. I hold a Telepsychology Competencies Credential (TCC) and accept select insurance plans, including Aetna and Cigna, to enhance access to quality care. My practice emphasizes personalized treatment plans that honor clients' strengths and goals, grounded in a commitment to confidentiality, transparency, and client empowerment. I prioritize establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, recognizing its critical role in successful outcomes, and offer free 15-minute consultations to support informed decisions about care.

Prioritizes creating a safe therapeutic environment to foster resilience and long-term healing.
EMDR Therapy
Evidence-based therapy for processing traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation. Targets distressing emotions and physical sensations linked to trauma through the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model. Effective for single-incident trauma, developmental trauma, and chronic stress, promoting adaptive resolution of intrusive thoughts and flashbacks.
Somatic Therapies
Body-oriented therapies addressing trauma stored in the nervous system. Includes Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to regulate autonomic responses and renegotiate trauma-related physiological patterns.

Emphasizes collaborative exploration of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to enhance self-awareness and purposeful living.

Teaches clients to accept challenging emotions without judgment while committing to actionable steps aligned with personal values.

Report
I have to say the therapy was pretty worthless. We literally spent about half of every session talking about how he couldn't figure out how to bill my insurance. He may need a billing service or he may need better billing software but he shouldn't make it the patient's problem to figure out.
