Professional Information

14 Peaks was created as an educational site for individuals and clinicians. I believe God made us fascinating beings with the capacity to heal, and that sparked the interest in neurophysiology as a conduit to healing trauma. I am passionate about bringing together neuroscience research and applying it practically, helping clinicians have protocols for clients who suffer from PTSD, somatic issues, attachment issues, and particularly developmental trauma.
​
My husband of 29 years and I have one musically gifted college-aged son and enjoy being part of the adoption community. The first part of my life I spent as a teacher, soccer coach, and martial arts instructor. I was blessed to have sports be a major part of my life, playing college soccer and then ending my competitive career as an extreme expedition adventure racer. In my free time, I enjoy riding all things outdoors including ATVs, paddle boarding, kayaking and skiing.
​
I have a master’s degree in Professional Counseling, and a master’s degree in Religious Education. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practioner (SEP), an SE assistant, trained in EMDR, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Neuroaffective Touch, Body And Somatic Education (BASE), and DBT. I am currently pursuing a doctorate in Psychology.​ My dissertation title is "A Neurophysiological Treatment Protocol for deficits in neurodevelopment due to Developmental Trauma."

Currently, I wear a few hats. I am a therapist at a private practice, as well as doing assessments and research for my doctorate with California Southern University, and teaching at retreats.
