Jocelyn‘s career started as a psychotherapist in the California Bay Area. Her work started with teens, focusing on self-harming behaviors. From California, she moved to Indiana, where she not only taught at the college level, ran a successful private practice, but also worked with Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers.
After Indiana, she moved to Vancouver, Washington, and started working for a group private practice where she was able to work with trauma and a range of ages. It was during her time in a group practice that she discovered her love of working with Refugees and using Emdr. She quickly realized how powerful Emdr was and continued her education to become Emdria certified. She is currently working on finishing upon becoming an Emdr consultant.
Empowering youth is one of Jocelyn’s greatest passions. She ran various healing-centered group art projects and led guided visualizations on creativity with schools and nonprofits. One of her most transformative experiences centered around training paraprofessionals on how to use art therapy to help traumatized Eritrean youths in an Ethiopian refugee camp recover. Amid the pandemic, to help kids find calm through mindfulness and art, Jocelyn coauthored and illustrated “Colorful Place: Mindful Story and Art,” a Kindle bestseller. She co-edited and wrote a chapter for EMDR Creative Art Therapies, a pioneering textbook exploring the healing power when creative art therapy and EMDR are integrated; Routledge is releasing the book in the summer of 2022. Jocelyn is a clinical supervisor and creates art tools that teach mental health concepts. Her art tools are distributed through her Etsy shop, Colorful Therapy Tools.
When she’s not working in her private practice in Vancouver, Washington, you can find her hiking in the beautiful mountains of the Pacific Northwest, creating art, doing yoga, or having dance parties with her little family
