I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR and Brainspotting for the treatment of trauma that allows us to intentionally engage with those overwhelming experiences, thereby changing harmful patterns and getting unstuck.
I'm glad you're here. I deeply respect your courage to engage in this process, and I want to know you and your story. To help you get grounded in your body, perspective, and self. I strive to create a warm space of acceptance, meeting you with care, insight, empathy, humor and playful challenge. Through this, I hope to help you create an experience of self compassion that leads to deep changes in perspective that offer new possibilities for you. I believe therapy is a balance of support and challenge, and you grow at your own pace. I help my clients find meaning in their experiences and move forward to create new stories.

Strong influences: Gestalt Therapy, Brainspotting & EMDR, Spiritual Psychology, Emotionally Focused Therapy & the Adlerian Healing of Early Memories.
People often enter therapy during times of emotional pain, uncertainty or at a time when they are seeking more meaning in their lives. Each person has within them a powerful impulse toward growth and healing. I trust that impulse and trust the therapeutic relationship to reveal your strengths, wisdom, and the next steps to your growth and healing. There is something of value in even the most difficult circumstances. When these circumstances are approached with an openness to learning, major transformations can take place. I find that the willingness to look inside yourself is a key factor in your healing.

As a somatic psychotherapist, I focus on supporting adults who are grappling with the very real, very human and very complex experiences of chronic stress, trauma, and grief. My approach is rooted in mindfulness, somatics and neuroscience through my training in Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, Yoga and Meditation. From this lens, I offer a creative synthesis of tools - tailored to each individual - that are further enhanced by in-depth work in psychodynamic therapy, somatic parts work, and relational-attachment dynamics.

I utilize various evidence based approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and brainspotting.
I believe that every person embodies their own answers and inner wisdom but can often encounter obstacles that make it difficult to access their full capabilities and strengths. I enjoy providing guidance and exploration of the parts of oneself that have been suppressed or avoided as a mechanism of survival. I use a direct and person-centered approach to help to transform patterns that are often instinctual and comfortable, but ultimately unhealthy. I meet clients wherever they are emotionally and incorporate an approach in which I provide a safe space for clients to become empowered at their own pace.

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.
