Using Brainspotting, somatic practices, ACT, narrative therapy, and parts work, we notice sensations, emotions, and old stories as they arise.
Life transitions, trauma, anxiety, grief, or shame can leave you feeling disconnected, stuck, or unsure of how to trust yourself. You may long to feel at home in your body, regain grounded confidence, and move beyond simply managing or coping with old patterns. My approach is different: we explore your experience through mindful, embodied awareness, noticing how your body, mind, and emotions interact in real time. Together, we create a space for curiosity, compassion, and self-trust to grow—helping you uncover new ways of being and relating to yourself and the world.

I sincerely believe that one's perception is their reality, and understanding that perception allows me to connect with them in a more therapeutic manner. Each client brings their own unique story, and hearing that story brings valuable insight. My goals in the therapeutic setting are to earn and build client trust, to always be authentic, to model empathy and warmth, to employ unconditional positive acceptance, to assist with reframing problematic thinking to foster potential solutions for happiness and healing, and to foster development of healthy coping skills as needed.

I use an integrative approach to care which often include use of CBT, DBT, ACT, CPT, Heartmath (Biofeedback), Adlerian Therapy, Brainspotting (Phase 1 Trained).
I am a culturally sensitive and trauma informed clinician that not only assesses your mental health needs but how cultural individuality influences cognitions, perceptions of the world, and one functions in it. It is important for me to not only be aware but to understand how your diversity cultivates space for success and challenges.

I integrate body-based and experiential therapies, including EMDR and Brainspotting, to help process experiences that words cannot express.
You feel like you are carrying the weight of the world but no one else can see. On the outside, you might be functioning—but internally, you feel overwhelmed, disconnected and stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change. If you’ve experienced trauma, you may notice that even when you understand what happened, your body still doesn’t feel safe. I work with individuals navigating trauma, dissociation and attachment wounds, as well as teens who feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life and need help coping. Many of the people I work with feel like they’re “holding it together” for everyone else while quietly struggling on the inside.

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.
