Author of two WEIGHT LOSS books, I use Brainspotting and IFS to resolve weight loss struggles and other body related issues.
Hello! I am a Clinical Psychologist, former Assistant Professor of Psychology, Clinic Director and author with 40 years experience. I offer a warm, gentle and secure place to talk about and resolve your concerns. As a trauma specialist, I have successfully used EMDR, Brainspotting and IFS parts work to gently yet rapidly resolve past trauma, depression and anxiety, and achieve peak performance.

My process is trauma informed, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Brainspotting.
Most people I know are doing the best they can with what they know, yet keep finding themselves stuck repeating old patterns. Some people want to heal old wounds but don't know how, and they often feel unsatisfied with their relationships, their job or feel alone. We might be a good fit to explore together if you want to feel more connected to yourself, your truth,and your emotions. My joy comes from helping others discover self compassion, peace with the past, self awareness, support, and connection. I help people craft lives and relationships they’re excited to show up for.

I utilize evidence-based modalities such as IFS, EMDR and Brainspotting to help clients tap into their deeper wisdom to get clarity on what truly matters to them, and then be able to move toward their goals.
My clients come to see me because there is a gap between what they have in their life and what they are hoping for. This gap leads to a feeling of being stuck, and life can feel too hard. Perhaps they don't have the life, relationships or career that they are desiring, or those things just do not feel fulfilling. Some are struggling with an accident or event that they need help transforming from a trauma into a normal memory so they can move forward. Some just have the sense that they are not the best version of themselves and want help creating a meaningful and authentic life that they love.

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.
