I primarily support my clients through my training in brain-based therapy/interventions (Brainspotting), and an evidenced-based therapy called Internal Family Systems or “Parts work” to heal past or recent hurts.
We hold trauma, grief, loss, and painful memories in our minds and bodies. If these issues aren't healed, they come out in painful and often destructive ways: Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, anger, struggles with parenting, substance abuse, isolation, fear, etc. People often feel "stuck" in these issues and are caught in cycles that are difficult to break free. These destructive and painful cycles can be broken and you can thrive personally and in your relationships. I create a welcoming environment where all feel safe to experience healing and transformational change. Each session is unique to you.

I have training in Brainspotting which is an evidence-based somatic therapy used to process and heal from traumatic experiences.
My goal is to create a nonjudgmental and warm space for you to explore all parts of yourself. I aim to create a curious, affirming, and shame-free environment so that you feel welcome and safe in session. Our time together might mean exploring your family of origin stories, unraveling your relationship patterns, or diving deeper into your emotions at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I have worked with clients and couples who have experienced complex PTSD, narcissistic abuse, life transitions, low self-worth, or relationship issues.

My clients are working to become self-love warriors, truth-seekers, and aliveness-pursuers! If that sounds like your journey also, I can help. Maybe you can recall a past when you felt more alive, connected, grounded, lovable, and your needs were getting met. Maybe now your challenge is figuring out how to get back to that place. Or maybe you've never felt this way and you desperately want to learn how. Either way, I can help you!

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.
