I enjoy working with men on issues relating to gender and sexuality, and working on "stuck" issues of trauma, for which I am a Brainspotting Practitioner, is one of my favorite things I do.
Perhaps life has handed you a crisis. Or maybe it's a season in which your soul needs a bit more attention or you just feel stuck. Whatever the reason, whether your relationships need strengthening or it feels like you're on the brink, I thoroughly believe therapy is worth your time, your financial and your emotional investment. Together we will approach your trials with compassion, courage and hope. I believe in healing. I believe in peace. I believe growth is as much about the journey as the arrival. I'd be honored to be a part of that journey.

Most of my clients identify as queer and/or neurodivergent, often struggling with low self-confidence, high anxiety, or OCD. I work relationally, and with an emphasis that you are the expert on your lived experiences. My education and observations can be relevant when utilized in a collaborative, rather than instructive way. Progress looks different for every person, but often looks like a decrease in general distress, and/or an increase in your confidence that you can handle difficult things!

Hi! Welcome to my small online practice, and congratulations on taking the step in looking into therapy - I know it can be challenging! My primary goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and comfortable space where you can be yourself and open up about things that you may be struggling with, or things that are causing you stress. Our sessions will not be a one-sided conversation, nor will they be mundane (trust me!), but rather there will be a lot of conversation and interaction, and together we can work on the things you want to change. I want you to find the peace and healing that you desire.

Meanwhile, I simultaneously provide knowledge and tools to empower and guide you to discovery of your true Self. During the pandemic I experienced and then trained in brainspotting, which I use in person, online, and over the phone to nuke the source of stubborn symptoms that have not responded to traditional talk therapy.

Let's work together towards giving yourself permission to put YOU first and knowing what you bring into this world is enough. Are you feeling sad but you're too ashamed or embarrassed to tell anyone? Do you put on a smile when all you want to do is cry? I know exactly what you're feeling: overwhelmed, pressured, anxious, afraid of being judged that you "don't have your shit together". Upholding an unrealistic expectation of self and societal pressure of "keeping it all together" is exhausting! and I don't want you to continue this cycle... I hear you, I see you!

Because trauma is stored in the body I offer Brainspotting, Havening Techniques and Somatic Therapy (TRM), all known for their effectiveness in releasing trauma and recovering the felt sense of calm, inner strength, wisdom and choice.
Are you stuck or blocked with moving towards the relationship, job, or inner calm you desire? Often at the core of feeling stuck or blocked is unprocessed trauma. While traumatic events happened in the past your mind may still be on high alert as if the event is happening right now. Trauma disconnects us from our self, our bodies and from others. It can interfere with our sleep, mood, thinking, and relationships along with our overall health and wellness. The good news is that our bodies are able to recover from such events and we can move out of the stuck places and recover our resiliency and courage.

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.
