Have you experienced awful or traumatic experiences in your life? Have these experiences left you feeling dazed and confused about who you are and how to navigate life? Does your brain and body feel overly tired? Do you worry about just about everything? Have difficulty with decisions and follow through? Perhaps you’re engaging with alcohol, drugs, food, and other things in unhelpful ways to try to numb emotional pain. Negative life experiences leave negative imprints on your brain and body. Heal your brain and body to change your life.
I work with individuals and couples. I help you transform a life of chaos and disconnection into a fulfilling life. Helping you rebuild your relationship with yourself and others. Develop healthy communication, stronger and closer connections. Become unstuck from unhealthy patterns resulting from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and addictions.
Working with me is beyond tips and tricks and symptom management. It is about helping your brain and body heal and recover. I use the leading-edge psychotherapy modality of Brainspotting and I have a great sense of humor and some stories I can share as appropriate.
