The challenges we face as individuals, as a community, and as a society can have a profound impact on the way we view the world, ourselves and others. Exposure to multiple adverse life experiences over time (experienced directly or in anticipation of adverse experiences) can progressively increase symptoms of anxiety, depression, clinical, and sub-clinical PTSD and even impact the state and health of our bodies. Adverse life experiences are often stored in the body and can be coded to our DNA. Somatic forms of therapy such as EMDR and Brainspotting help to adjust this lens by integrating and fully reprocessing adverse experiences.

My primary goal is to help restore the power of the individual, to the individual. It is difficult to create ourselves to our true self until we uncreate the thinking and believing that is causing our distress because "whatever we resist, persists." To empower those I work with to see acceptance as a possible way out of their distress by realizing their true control in any given situation. This begins to uncreate the old thinking and responses that lead to further distress. To help those heal to freedom by removing danger, not increasing it, by providing effective tools of creation through improved thought, word and action.

Hello, I'm Brynn, and I'm so happy you found me. I know you may feel like you’re ready to commit to giving therapy a try. But perhaps there is some fear as well. Maybe you’ve had a bad experience with therapy in the past. Or maybe you were raised to think negatively about seeking mental health help. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and make you feel heard. My goal is to help those I work with feel empowered and hopeful. To do that we may use EMDR, and other ways to help connect those parts of you that may feel disconnected. So let’s talk through some of the things you’ve been feeling and come up with a plan together.

Your relationship with your spouse is unlike any other. That one person is in a unique position of intimacy that allows them to truly love you or sometimes, to deeply hurt you. For you, the hurt in your relationship could feel like an exhausting cycle, or being stuck, or a deep disappointment. The good news is that couples therapists today have decades of research to draw from. The work of the Gottman Institute or the Hendrix Imago program show what makes a happy, healthy relationship. As a marriage and family therapist, I help my clients experience more of the good stuff.

As a trauma-informed therapist, it's important to help individuals find safety in their environment and surroundings. In session, we start by developing skills to manage emotional triggers before working through personal stressors/traumas. After coping skills are established, we will begin processing the stressors/traumas through a variety of modalities depending on what feels best for each client. Because therapy is not one size fits all, I take an eclectic approach to therapy, providing a wide range of tools and resources to help each client work through their personal struggles.
