I am extensively trained in several trauma-based modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Anxious, depressed, or stuck? I work to create a safe, non-judgmental space for adults and adolescents of all religions, races, sexualities, and genders to process their life needs, wants, and fears. I provide psychotherapy within the context of a therapeutic working alliance; by first building trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship, one can then work towards tackling larger life goals. I work from a core belief that our minds and bodies are deeply connected. Treating the whole person, including the impact of stress on their physical body, is an important component to treating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and more.

Are you struggling with worry or sadness related to painful patterns in your relationships? Do you feel that you are constantly striving for "better" and "more" in most aspects of your life, but often feel unworthy or not enough? Do you find that people pleasing depletes you and leaves you feeling burnt out? Many of these patterns are examples of relational coping styles that we adopted in early childhood as a way of adapting to the needs or demands of our family systems. These coping skills were helpful when we were children, but usually become frustrating stuck points in adulthood.

I draw from a variety of approaches, including depth psychology (Jungian and Archetypal), somatic work (listening to our body), mindfulness, Brainspotting, and philosophical/spiritual traditions, to help you connect with this inner wisdom.
Frustrating and painful experiences in life often stem from unexpressed parts of us that remain largely unconscious. You may feel stuck in patterns of bad relationships, unfulfilling careers, loss of identity or meaning in life, even when you know you want to break free. Challenges or life transitions may disrupt your life, awakening awareness of problematic patterns and pain from the past. Perhaps you question your purpose or feel defined by your roles, longing to rediscover your hidden potential. What are you missing out on in your life from not knowing all that you really are?

While I utilize talk therapy, I believe that therapy is an ideal place to slow down to notice feelings, sensations, thoughts, and to integrate somatic work, Attachment focused-EMDR &/or Brainspotting.
I don't know what brings you, but I know that it can take a lot of courage to reach out for support. Therapy is a powerful statement to yourself that you, your relationship and your family matters. The heart of my work revolves around assisting you in the journey of your choosing. Often I am supporting people who are interested in uncovering and unlearning painful negative beliefs about themselves. So often we have internalized a harmful message early in life -I'm bad. I'm not good enough. My needs don't matter. Together we can process the events that led to those beliefs and find the self-love and compassion to heal.

I also utilize Brainspotting to address trauma stored in the nervous system, which can create an immediate shift in conscious experience.
Being alive is a constant process of evolution and transformation, sometimes seemingly occurring without our input. Together, we can identify sources of meaning and connection, process traumatic experiences, and address harmful patterns to allow you to engage with life more fully. Every person is unique, and the therapeutic encounter is a deeply connected experience. I work well with people who are navigating their identity and how it can be expressed in the world, processing early childhood wounds, struggling with religious trauma, understanding neurodivergence, and working through grief and loss.

Brainspotting Therapists
How does brainspotting work?
Brainspotting works by using eye positioning to identify and process traumatic memories so that a client is better able to move forward and live with less fear. The theory behind brainspotting is that by identifying where a person looks when thinking of traumatic memories, a therapist will be able to guide them to focus on that spot and work with the client to get them out of the “fight, flight, freeze” response associated with the traumatic memory.
Is brainspotting an evidence-based therapy?
Brainspotting is a theory-based alternative therapy. It is one of the newest forms of treatment, so very little research has been completed that examines the mechanism by which it works. The theory behind brainspotting is that eye position can be linked to areas of the brain that store and process memory.
How effective is brainspotting?
Because it is such a new treatment, the effectiveness of brainspotting cannot be quantified. Some people have found it to be effective on its own, or in conjunction with other types of therapy. It is considered an alternative therapy, and it is popular with people for whom more traditional therapies have proven ineffective.
How long does brainspotting take to work?
A typical brainspotting session will last between 60 to 90 minutes. There is no required number of sessions needed to complete brainspotting therapy, but in many cases it is delivered over the course of about six sessions. Clients are encouraged to rate their level of distress prior to a session and again following a session, and to track progress.
