You are feeling tired, restless, antsy, empty, confused, and wanting to sort out the *stuff* in your head and heart. You want to find your footing in your family, or your marriage, or your parenting and yourself. You are done with doing things the same ol' way. You are reading these profiles asking yourself "who will hear me", "who will get me", or "who can I tell my story to?" I have good news, you are the expert of your own life and with that, you and I create a partnership and it is the foundation of our therapeutic alliance.
My specialty is Moms, Men and Millenials. Using different modalities, I assess your readiness to change, provide strategies to move and guide you through the trials and errors of getting out of your comfort zones and approaching old problems with new eyes.
Offering you a chance to feel seen, and heard. Getting asked questions you hadn't considered before. You don't have to come with your ducks all in a row; get met exactly where you are. My philosophy is inspiring change in honoring autonomy while enhancing strengths.

Brainspotting is a brain-body therapy aimed at efficiently shifting clients from emotional distress to relief. It focuses on identifying and releasing trapped feelings, memories, and physical tension by targeting specific eye positions linked to these issues. The approach emphasizes somatic awareness, concentrating on the location and intensity of bodily stress and pain.
