Aho! I am a proud member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma. A mother to two-legged and four-legged mammals. A wife of a union member and hockey coach. A divorcee and a past military wife for 14 years. A graduate of USC and a past military member for about one and a half years, leaving due to medical reasons - honorable discharge. I have lived in 7 states and know the challenges of starting over many times in life.
I am an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist and consultant with advanced training in EMDR, and I also draw on DBT, TF-CBT, and Motivational Interviewing in my work. My background includes mindfulness practices, and I am a Trauma-Certified Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY-F) facilitator with 300 hours of training. At the heart of my approach is a deep belief in meeting you exactly where you are — with compassion, curiosity, and no judgment. Together, we’ll explore what truly supports your healing, at a pace that feels right for you. This is your space. I’m here to walk alongside you, bringing both the experience and the genuine care that meaningful healing deserves. Your sense of safety and the trust we build together are things I hold with great care.
I believe that therapy is most effective when it is tailored to you. In our first session, I would love to learn about your goals, what has been most challenging for you lately, and what you hope to gain from our time together. Your voice and hopes matter deeply to me as we start this journey.
