Our sessions may also include EMDR, Brainspotting, mindfulness & EFT.
Through a warm and gentle approach, I create space for clients to unpack whatever is troubling them with patience and support. Often “symptoms” are a function of being stuck or at odds with ourselves and others, or from painfully re-living past events. After addressing the most pressing problems and identifying key triggers, we can then turn to the underlying internal conflicts or relational patterns. By healing these conflicts, clients come to better understand themselves and live more peacefully in the here and now. In a word, they become more authentic!

I provide insight oriented, trauma focused therapy by utilizing brain-body based approaches including Brainspotting.
I support adults, 25 and older, to attain post traumatic growth, relief from overwhelming emotions, and create affirming meanings about their life experiences. My clients explore long held patterns, build safety within strong emotion, and expand their tolerance for distress. Through use of focused mindfulness, these clients develop authenticity, radical self love, affirming narratives, and wellness based habits that assist in overall self development. Clients from marginalized communities and identities will find a safe and inviting space with me. I am passionate about social justice, and operate from an anti-oppressive framework.

Brainspotting for issues such as Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, OCD and more.
My therapeutic philosophy is that it's not what is wrong with you but what happened to you. I believe that symptoms like anxiety and depression are not signs of weakness but messages to our mind and body telling us that something is not right and needs to be addressed. Maladaptive ways of coping may have once served us by dulling stress or pain but are not working any more, and so we have to learn new, healthier, more adaptive coping skills. I believe both the body and mind work together and are ultimately designed to survive, heal and thrive. Sometimes we just need understanding, validation and support to navigate the process.

I offer both traditional talk-therapy, creative therapies, and/or brain based treatment modalities (I am an EMDR and Brainspotting trained clinician) to help you make the changes in your life that are meaningful to you!.
We all seek a life that is fulfilling and meaningful, but sometimes during our life's journey, we can come to feel disconnected from that source of meaning. Perhaps the stress and responsibilities of life become overwhelming, and what is meaningful gets lost in the busyness. Maybe a life event occurs (trauma/illness/death/divorce/etc.) that causes us to reevaluate everything we thought to be true. Maybe our relationships or our roles in life begin to shift making us question "What now?" My honor as a therapist is to walk with you as you rekindle that connection and create a life that intentionally honors what matters most to you.

When traditional talk therapy makes little progress, I am trained to use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and brainspotting.
Do you feel lost or overwhelmed? Have you noticed your past getting in the way of your future? Do you believe you didn’t get what you needed growing up or that you missed out on a “normal” childhood? Therapy can offer guidance and help support your journey to the life you want. Healing takes time and it can feel vulnerable going through this process. We will create a plan to work towards your goals and support you feeling safe in this process. You are the expert and leader of your life. Together, we can work towards life skills, deal with the past, and improve your mental health.

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.
