Healing Through EMDR and Integrative Therapy
Trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life stressors can feel overwhelming—but they don’t have to define your life. In my experience as a psychotherapist, I have found EMDR to be an effective and powerful approach that provides safe, compassionate relief from emotional suffering. Whether you’re navigating deep-rooted trauma or the stressors of daily life, finding a Certified EMDR Therapist who is trauma- and dissociation-informed is essential for effective healing.
My goal is to offer you compassionate, informed therapy that meets you where you are. In addition to EMDR, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles. I have also completed basic training in Rapid Resolution Therapy. Because no single approach works for everyone, I tailor therapy to fit your unique needs, drawing from my training and experience to help you move forward.
I have been a licensed clinician since 2019, with a background that includes working in county mental health with individuals facing severe and chronic conditions, providing bereavement support in hospice settings, counseling in schools, and working with survivors and perpetrators of domestic violence. I’ve also led support groups for family members of individuals with chronic mental illness and facilitated groups for teens on probation for dating violence.
When you step into therapy with me, you can expect collaboration, respect, and an approach that prioritizes both support and effectiveness. I know how daunting it can be to address emotional pain—especially when it feels like change is impossible. But healing is possible. These beliefs can shift, making space for growth, relief, and a better quality of life.
EMDR Certified Therapist & Approved Consultant
EMDR Therapy
Trauma, anxiety and depression, grief and loss of various kinds, bereavement and life stressors can be effectively reduced in severity with EMDR. In my experience as a psychotherapist, I have found EMDR is an effective and powerful psychotherapeutic modality that can safely and compassionately provide relief from emotional suffering. It is important to find a Certified Therapist that is trauma and dissociation informed. My goal is to provide effective and informed compassionate treatment for any of the symptoms or life challenges you face.
In addition, I use CBT, DBT and am IFS informed, and completed the basic training in Rapid Resolution Therapy. Because one size does not fit all, I pull from my experience and training to fit the therapy to the person.
EMDR CONSULTATION
Consultation to complete hours toward EMDRIA certification, or CIT consultation of consultation are offered. Even if you are not seeking certification, consultation is a wonderful way to keep your EMDR practice informed. It has been my experience that consultation is and continues to be an important part of my practice.
CAMFT Certified Supervisor
Supervision is one of the most impactful parts of our journey to becoming a therapist. I offer a collaborative and well-informed supervision platform that will address legal, ethical, cultural and theoretical issues in therapy. My experience includes triadic and individual therapy in agency and private practice settings. If you are interested, please email me to discuss your supervision needs.

About Susana, Associate Marriage Family Therapist #AMFT148462
Hello, I am committed to developing authentic, trusting relationships and working together to achieve your goals. My approach is highly collaborative, using integrative, evidence-based strategies to meet your individual needs. I have extensive experience working with vulnerable populations in acute settings. I work with children, teens and adults. By co-creating a warm, safe environment, you will begin the process of healing and developing a deeper sense of self. Together, we can address inner childhood trauma, self-esteem, emotional challenges (anxiety/depression), people-pleasing, boundaries, and more.
I value representation and authenticity, recognizing the strength and courage it takes to seek support, especially when facing societal, cultural, or familial challenges. I strive to create an environment that is inclusive and welcoming of all aspects of who you are. I honor both the similarities and differences that may exist between us.
You are the expert on your life, with unique strengths and gifts. My role is to help you identify and enhance them. I’m learning and growing alongside you and would be honored to support you on the first steps on your therapeutic journey. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out.
Bienvenidos! Estoy comprometida a fomentar un ambiente respetoso, auténtico y inclusivo.
Los cambios pueden ser una oportunidad para el crecimiento y la vitalidad, o puede ser un lugar de estancamiento y estrés. La vida puede resultar pesada y hacernos sentir ansiosos, agotados, perdidos y desanimados. Con el tiempo, las presiones y los dolores de la vida pueden abrumar a cualquiera. Aparte de lo que esté sucediendo en su vida en este momento, su historia no termina aquí.

Me especializo en terapia cognitivo-conductual utilizando técnicas terapéuticas diseñadas para ayudarte a reconocer y cambiar los patrones de pensamiento y comportamiento que te mantienen donde te encuentras. En un espacio seguro, manejamos las emociones dolorosas y aprendemos de ellas. Tengo amplia experiencia trabajando con comunidades vulnerables. Trabajo con niños, adolescentes y adultos.
