I utilize brainspotting to support clients who experience trauma, anxiety, and depression.
Authenticity serves as a catalyst for personal and communal growth. I firmly believe in the transformative power of genuine connections, where trust and respect flourish. Within such relationships, individuals find fertile ground for self-discovery and development beyond their expectations. I am committed to embracing my true self, and I extends this ethos into my therapeutic practice, infusing it with warmth, respect, guidance, humor, and unfiltered honesty.

I am trained in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Brainspotting, which are both somatic therapies that integrate the body and physical sensations in the healing process.
I support adults navigating the complexities of identity, relationships, and self-understanding. Many come to therapy feeling anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed, struggling with perfectionism, life changes, stressful environments, relationship conflicts, high expectations, and the impact of traumas. These experiences may stem from family and relationship dynamics, intergenerational factors, and experiences of marginalization. Many are seeking a space where their cultural background, family dynamics, and lived experiences are understood, respected, and integrated into therapy, as these factors shape current challenges and growth.

I use somatic work, brainspotting, mindfulness, play, and art to help you connect with yourself in real, lasting ways.
Maybe you’ve been feeling disconnected from your body, like your mind is moving faster than you can keep up with—or that parts of you are checked out entirely. Maybe past trauma or stress makes it hard to stay present, and you’re craving a sense of grounding, safety, and control over your own experience. In therapy with me, the focus is on you: learning to understand your body, your nervous system, and how trauma shows up in your life. We’ll explore ways to feel more embodied, notice what’s happening in the moment, and develop tools to stay grounded even when life feels overwhelming.

Do you fear no one will understand you? In situations longer than you should be? Struggling with the complexities of grief or major life transitions? I work with adolescents, teens, and adults to help heal their self-worth wounds before their potential harmful coping skills manifest into lifelong struggles, and help folks rewrite their story once they understand that the only person that needs to understand them is themselves.

Within each of us exists a childlike version of ourselves that embodies wonder, creativity, and joy. Through our experiences we can become disconnected from this version of ourselves. Curiosity often originates from a place of joy, but external forces discourage and reshape it, making learning rigid, transactional, and productivity-driven. Therapy offers an opportunity to break free from these constraints, reconnect with your authentic self, and rediscover a sense of possibility and growth. Through this process, you can embrace the fullness of your being and the expansiveness of life.

My approach honors the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and is tailored to each person’s unique goals, lifestyle, environment, medical needs, nutritional requirements, and personal beliefs. This creates space for balance, meaning, and healing in a way that feels authentic and supportive. I believe healing is within each person’s control and that individuals already possess the tools needed to create meaningful change.

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.
