Have you found that doing “just” talk therapy isn’t working well for you? Do you find that your life experiences are getting in the way of you enjoying your life and meeting your life goals? I know that the mind and the body are connected and people get well when we look at the whole person, not just their thoughts and feelings. I use mind/body/spirit work to help people find their balance in life. I enjoy using talk therapy, CBT, Brainspotting, Tapping and other therapies that integrate over-all physical health with mental health. I offer a free fifteen minute consult so you and I can chat and see if I am a good fit for you.

Take a deep breath. Finding the right therapist for yourself or your child can feel overwhelming. Maybe you or your child or teen is struggling with mood issues, social anxiety, aggressive behaviors, or school refusal. Perhaps there are sensory issues, trouble making and keeping friends, or behaviors causing you problems. Now, imagine you could wave a magic wand and wake up tomorrow to your ideal life. What would that look like? Perhaps you'd have more time to explore your own interests, feel happier, and be open to trying new things. Life isn’t always easy, but it doesn’t have to be this hard.

Waitlist for new clients
Are you struggling to come to terms with a painful loss or changes in your life? Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a serious illness or the burden of caregiving, nothing really prepares us for grief when it arrives. The emotions may feel overwhelming and it’s natural to want to avoid them altogether. For a while you can survive by staying busy and distracting yourself, but these strategies are not sustainable forever. Grief can feel like just one more thing to manage, especially if you already had a full plate. Healthy, active grieving is the way 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.
