Guiding Clients to Embodiment, Self-Compassion, and New Coping Strategies

I have dedicated my career to helping individuals heal from trauma through a compassionate and accepting approach. At Norton Counseling and Consulting, I strive to create a warm and safe environment where clients of all ages can explore their experiences and grow. My practice centers around the use of EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, techniques that allow for deep exploration and healing beyond traditional talk therapy.
I work with clients dealing with single-event, complex, and developmental trauma, addressing symptoms such as depression, anxiety, depersonalization, sleep disorders, chronic pain, disordered eating, and substance abuse. My goal is to help clients become safely embodied, develop compassion for themselves, and learn new coping strategies to navigate life’s challenges. Each session is tailored to the individual's needs, connecting the pieces of their unique experiences to promote growth and freedom.
As a licensed therapist in Iowa, with training from the University of Vermont, I am committed to providing the highest standard of care. My therapeutic methods focus on the body’s memory, allowing clients to process and release trauma that words alone cannot reach.
