I’m so glad you’re here! I believe we all have this inspired capacity to transform old feelings, behaviors, and patterns, and to rewire our brains to heal our hearts and relationships. I value integrative and holistic health, and enjoy incorporating the "whole-you" in session: your mind, body, heart & soul. We'll focus on healing the relationship in and amongst these parts of you, resulting in a more integrated feeling of a-well-and-good YOU. Therapy works best when we can allow the full human experience; humor, tears, anger, anxiety, joy... I won't shy away from the messiness and instead will encourage us to jump into the depth.

I’m a certified Brainspotting practitioner and a licensed professional counselor working under supervision.
Brainspotting is a brain-body therapy, similar to EMDR, that helps process and heal the root causes of emotional distress. By using eye positions linked to stored experiences, it accesses deep areas of the brain to release stuck emotions, supporting lasting healing and personal growth. For many, it offers a unique and gentle path to healing and resolution.

I am a licensed therapist and registered art therapist with additional training in somatic psychology, brainspotting, and Indigenous Tools for Living.
I work with couples and individuals who feel stuck in anxiety, trauma responses, emotional disconnection, or relationship patterns that keep repeating. With couples, I support rebuilding trust, communication, emotional safety, and closeness. With individuals, I help people move through overwhelm, people-pleasing, shutdown, and self-protection that once helped them survive but now feels limiting. My approach is integrative and body-informed, supporting deeper connection with yourself and others.

I believe people are doing the best they can with what they know and have experienced. Therapy begins with curiosity—not judgment—especially with ADHD symptoms, Addiction, and Relationship struggles. Together we can look at what’s not working—patterns like distraction, impulsivity, compulsive use, or disconnection—and what can be added: skills, insight, or behavior change. I help with ADHD symptoms, quitting porn, Addiction, and improving Relationships. I trust your life can work for you again, and therapy is where we rediscover how. Licensure seeking supervisor approved LMFT.

I primarily integrate Brainspotting, a brain- and body-based approach that supports processing trauma held beyond words.
Healing happens as we begin to process what our bodies have been holding. Trauma, grief, and painful experiences don’t just live in our thoughts—they live in our nervous system, relationships, and sense of self, often shaping patterns carried within families, communities, and across generations. As an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, I am passionate about supporting Native clients and communities. My work is grounded in respect, cultural awareness, and a belief in the resilience carried across generations, while offering a collaborative, grounded, and deeply attuned space.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to look within and explore the patterns that have shaped their life—someone who may feel stuck, disconnected, or uncertain but still has a deep desire to grow and heal. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or unresolved family dynamics that continue to influence their present experiences. Often, these clients have spent much of their lives caring for others or managing responsibilities, and now they are realizing it’s time to turn inward and nurture themselves.

Deciding to change takes courage. Starting therapy takes courage. Many only call a therapist when they have tried everything they know to do. Others are tired of reaching the same crossroads time and again - whether in our personal lives (with issues such as anxiety, depression, fear), in our relationships (communication, intimacy, etc.), or a past experience that keeps one from living the full life once imagined. Whatever brings you to therapy, Conscious Healing Counseling is happy to discuss the many options available to you and how we can be most helpful.

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.
