Have you found that doing “just” talk therapy isn’t working well for you? Do you find that your life experiences are getting in the way of you enjoying your life and meeting your life goals? I know that the mind and the body are connected and people get well when we look at the whole person, not just their thoughts and feelings. I use mind/body/spirit work to help people find their balance in life. I enjoy using talk therapy, CBT, Brainspotting, Tapping and other therapies that integrate over-all physical health with mental health. I offer a free fifteen minute consult so you and I can chat and see if I am a good fit for you.

I am a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner and utilize this wonderful approach to help folks process through trauma, relieve anxiety, and shift away from "stuckness.
It feels so tough to accept that you're only human and you might be struggling to reach your goals or with dealing with tough changes, even with the work and effort you've been putting in to yourself. Despite going through your day-to-day with life and work, it's been intense and sometimes feels like you're still on autopilot. You can see how your experience with past trauma has affected you. You've been working on yourself, and you're looking for a deeper way to address your pain. You're ready to take the next step to continue supporting your self-growth and change journey. If this resonates with you- you're in the right place!

I love using somatic interventions such as Brainspotting, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and yoga therapy.
There is wisdom in acknowledging the present and accepting yourself as you are today without judgement but that is easier said than done. In a world filled with uncertainty and constant change learning to adjust might be harder than before. Therapy is about creating the space to process emotions, release burdens, learn to identify behavioral patterns, set goals, reframe your thoughts, regulate emotions, but ultimately learned to adapt to the inevitable change.

Things have started falling apart around you. You're worried about losing a relationship, your job, or worse. People close to you have started to mention they are worried about you. A part of you wants to change, but you're stuck between unbearable emotions and trying to keep everything under control. And it's not working out. You may be lashing out, drinking more, or avoiding people close to you. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, anger, shame from the past, or out-of-control substance use, you don’t have to stay where you are – suffering. You’re resilient and persistent, and right now, you’re just stuck.

Accepting new clients. I believe therapy is a collaborative process between the two of us. Our work together will help you live a meaningful and purposeful life, feel safe in your body, understand your behavioral and attachment patterns, and heal from relational trauma. Our earliest relationships inform the way we respond to situations past and present. As adults, we may notice some of these patterns are more harmful than helpful.

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.
