I use talk therapy and Brainspotting to help individuals heal from these experiences.
I am a Licensed MFT who supports adults, couples, parents, and groups of friends invested in personal growth, developing stronger interpersonal relationships, and healing from trauma. I support clients who are very excited by new projects but can’t get their life organized, are hard on themselves and and have a strong inner critic, never feel happy or satisfied with their accomplishments, struggle to say no to others and REALLY dislike conflict, are stuck in cycles of conflict in relationships, spend hours engaging in rituals to try to soothe fears/anxieties, and those who desperately want to parent differently but don't know how.

We offer EMDR, Brainspotting, Parts Work and Functional Nutrition to heal the whole individual.
Another day, same routine, same uncertainty of what today will hold. Which will flare up first, your anxiety, chronic pain, or digestive issues? You’re tired of putting life on hold because you might have a flare up, but don’t have the bandwidth to do everything you once did. You struggle to claw yourself out of the thoughts of “I’m too much”, “something is wrong me”, and “I’m not worthy” and find the only time these thoughts don’t haunt you is when you are helping other people. You put on a brave face, even though you wish people could see your soul is suffering as you feel hijacked by your body. It feels like you can't win.

The two questions I get asked most often are: "Where do I go from here?" and "How do I make the changes I need to make?" My honest answer to both of these questions is always, "I don't know exactly. It's something that we need to figure out together." The journey to a person's happiness, peace, and/or balance is so incredibly unique; and though I realize that my response may not be the one they wish to receive, there is always reassurance that they will not have to traverse this particular part of their journey alone, for together we will explore all the possibilities to formulate the desired path forward.

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.
