I am trained in Brainspotting - a brain based technique from processing trauma.
Finding the right therapist is not always an easy task. It is important that my clients feel comfortable and connected to the healing process as well as the therapeutic relationship. Art therapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy. It is a non-invasive form of healing that facilitates communication from our unconscious.

Have you recently lost a loved one unexpectedly or had a loved one die of a chronic or terminal illness? Are you struggling with a new or long term medical diagnosis? How do you deal with people who just don't get it? You may be experiencing feelings of profound sadness, anger, loneliness, abandonment, and hopelessness. Talking with someone who is not emotionally involved in your personal struggles, often can be a transformative experience towards developing feelings of acceptance, peace, and comfort.

Being a parent is hard. Being a Christian parent, to a hurting child, in a secular world, is even harder. Your child, or even you, may be struggling with anxiety or other mental health or behavioral concerns. Perhaps your child is adopted and you need support from a therapist who knows what adoptive families need. You want your child to talk to you and tell you how they're feeling. You want to know what to say to comfort them and what to do when they're in a crisis. You want answers to all the questions swirling in your head and heart right now. I can help you answer them by teaching you about powerful, prayerful parenting.

I create treatment plans that are unique to you and, based on comfort level, offer art therapy, Brainspotting and EMDR to accelerate your healing process.
Depressed, moody, anxious and troubled more often than not these days, your work and relationships are suffering in the background as you try to "get a grip". From sad and tired to anxious, agitated or even angry... the emotions are exhausting. At this point, simply feeling content feels far away. Something needs to change and I can help. Often we forget that anxiety and depression are companions to things like crisis, change, grief, loneliness, conflict and many other conditions. Struggling to cope with what is in front of you right now, while also managing your anxiety or get a handle on your depressed mood might feel impossible.

You want to appear confident, but deep down you worry what others think and criticize yourself. The desire to be perfect in every aspect of life makes you want to give up. The countless hours you spend rechecking your work, overanalyzing social interactions, and trying to make others happy is exhausting. Nobody can see or understand the mental gymnastics you are doing every...single...day. It’s been hard to find happiness in the little things and you constantly feel distracted by the thoughts in your head. Is this how life is supposed to be? You know this isn’t working and even know you need a change. But what and how? Let me help!

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.
