Have you tried therapy before and found it uncomfortable, unhelpful, or worse yet, harmful, or culturally irrelevant? I am humbled to have the opportunity to help people envision possibilities and achieve new realities through somatic processing. Create new sustainable patterns of health and expand into new ways of being with Brainspotting. You can schedule online for a free "initial consultation" online or in person. If you have a current talk therapist you can still use Brainspotting as an add-on service or schedule an cashpay intensive to see how you can level up in your healing or performance in just one intensive session.
I bring 25 years of counselor experience. I am a Brainspotting Practitioner and consultant. I support indigenous ways of knowing/being. I am licensed counseling supervisor in Alaska (LPC-672) and Washington (LPC-LH61177166). I take insurance.
I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health but it is a journey and never just a destination. I believe that the counselor’s role is to assist in the facilitation of personal growth and wellness in each individual client. I accept ALL clients from ALL backgrounds: people of all creed, belief, LGBTQIA+, ENM, ages, stages, and walks of life.

Many people come to this work after years of trying to talk through trauma. Brainspotting allows healing to happen at the brain and nervous system level. You move beyond coping, into healing, and living authentically.
