I am also a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner, a medium that is used to help reprocess and heal trauma and deep, core wounds.
I specialize in helping adolescents and adults in finding their own inner purpose, strength, and wisdom. Often, this requires peeling back the layers of old habits, wounds, and ways of being in the world that are resulting in distress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of dissatisfaction. By helping to heal the old wounds, there is more space to experience joy and contentment while also discovering what matters the most to you. One on one sessions can take a variety of forms including more traditional talk therapy; using different art mediums; or getting out of the office for a walk.

I am a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner, which is a powerful brain-based intervention that supports the release of emotional & physical stress that keeps us stuck.
I specialize in treating adult women with complex trauma/CPTSD with a focus on developmental trauma. Most of my client’s have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences, such as family dysfunction, abuse or neglect, or what I refer to as deep, impactful experiences from childhood to adolescence. My clients are well-functioning, but the secondary issues from their unresolved/unhealed pasts show up as depression, anxiety, avoidance and relational difficulties, causing a feeling of "stuckness" despite "knowing better". I am an neurobiology-informed experiential therapist, utilizing “bottom-up”, holistic approaches.

It's the most socially appropriate time in modern history to be a bit of a mess, but that doesn't make it easier for most of us. Being intelligent can actually make it harder to adapt to new things outside your frames of reference. Being empathetic can cause you to feel like you're constantly letting others & yourself down. Being unique or outside norms can leave you feeling lonely & questioning yourself. If you tend to hold & hide everything inside, or if you're someone who can't help but dump everything out all over the place, you may be experiencing miscommunication & judgment from others on top of everything.

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.
