I'm a Certified EMDR therapist and PMH-C clinician providing specialized trauma therapy in Arizona, Colorado, and Washington for first responders and individuals navigating perinatal mental health challenges, PTSD, and chronic stress. Many of my clients appear fine on the outside — capable, put-together, managing it all — while feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally stuck underneath. My practice focuses on treating PTSD, birth trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, religious trauma, and occupational stress using EMDR and evidence-based, trauma-informed care. I understand how trauma and nervous system dysregulation can leave you feeling constantly on edge, emotionally reactive, or disconnected from yourself — whether that shows up through the demands of first responder work, the transition into parenthood, or experiences further back. Through EMDR, I help clients reduce triggers, process unresolved trauma, regulate their nervous system, and experience deep, lasting healing — so you can feel stable, confident, and like yourself again.
Your first session is designed to help you feel safe, informed, and understood. We begin by exploring what's bringing you in and what you hope to change. I'll ask thoughtful questions about your history, current symptoms, and goals so I can create a personalized treatment plan, and if EMDR is appropriate, I'll explain the process clearly and answer any questions you have. We don't begin trauma reprocessing right away. Instead, we focus first on stabilization, nervous system regulation, and building emotional safety — especially important for first responders navigating occupational stress and individuals facing perinatal mental health challenges. By the end of the session, you'll have clarity about next steps and a sense of whether working together feels like the right fit. Healing from trauma, PTSD, or postpartum mental health struggles is possible — and you don't have to do it alone.
My biggest strength is holding both clinical precision and emotional safety at the same time. I don't rush into trauma processing — we build stabilization and nervous system regulation first, so EMDR happens from a place of readiness, not overwhelm. That pacing matters most for people who are used to pushing through, managing everything, and being "the strong one." Using EMDR alongside trauma-informed, evidence-based care, I help clients reduce triggers, process distressing memories, and build more adaptive beliefs about themselves — not just talk about what happened, but change how it lives in the body. Clients often tell me they feel deeply understood and respected here, in a way that finally lets them put the weight down.
I work best with people who look like they have it all together but are quietly running on empty — capable, high-functioning, used to being the one others rely on, while feeling anxious, on edge, or disconnected underneath. That shows up in a lot of different ways: for some it's the weight of what they've seen and done on the job, like many first responders I work with; for others it's the disorientation of new parenthood, birth trauma, or postpartum depression and anxiety; for others it's religious trauma, chronic stress, or old experiences that still leave them hypervigilant, reactive, or numbed out. If any of that resonates — if you're ready to move from survival mode into stability and want a therapist who will honor your pace while still moving you forward — I'd be glad to work with you.

I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and have advanced training in using it to treat trauma, anxiety, and distressing life experiences. I integrate EMDR within a comprehensive treatment plan, ensuring clients feel grounded, resourced, and prepared before processing begins — helping them reprocess traumatic memories, reduce emotional distress, and develop more adaptive beliefs about themselves.
I use trauma-informed, cognitive-behavioral approaches to help adults process trauma, PTSD, and anxiety by identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns that developed after difficult experiences. Trauma can impact core beliefs, emotional regulation, and nervous system responses, leading to hypervigilance, avoidance, guilt, or self-blame. I help clients build coping skills, challenge distorted beliefs, and gradually reduce trauma-related distress in a structured, supportive way — integrated with EMDR and other evidence-based approaches as needed.
I draw on ACT to help clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of getting stuck fighting them. Rather than waiting to feel "ready," we focus on reconnecting with what matters most to you and taking meaningful action even when anxiety, grief, or old trauma responses are still present — building psychological flexibility alongside the deeper processing work we do together.
I provide couples therapy in Arizona, Colorado and Washington using a combination of the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), helping couples improve communication, repair trust, and break negative interaction cycles that lead to conflict, resentment, or emotional distance. I work with partners navigating relationship distress, affair recovery, parenting stress, and major life transitions. Just a note: couples therapy is private pay only, with a session fee of $200 per session.

I have that I can be very open and honest without judgement and that she truly listens to me and cares about what I say. She always ends the sessions with a goal or 1 thing to do or work on before seeing her again which would be helpful. She does well with letting me direct the session depending on how my world has been but finds great ways to ask questions that make me think and tie it in to how I am either making progress or an example of what we do want to work on.

Angela was recommended by my health insurance provider because of her work with trauma and PTSD. I pretty much laid out most of my issues in the 1st session. She was listening carefully because her treatment plan looks to be exactly what I need.
