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.

Brainspotting invites stress and trauma to resolve, gently and efficiently.
Keeping anxiety at bay is exhausting, while everyday stressors shoot fear throughout your body. You toss and turn at night only to face it all over again each morning. You want to enjoy life without so much internal noise, but aren’t sure where to turn. For some time now, you've known something needs to change, and traditional talk therapy has only gotten you so far. At this point, you know chronic anxiety isn't going away on its own.

I am also trained in DBT and Brainspotting.
We all have a need to feel seen and understood. Different experiences can frequently leave us feeling misunderstood by ourselves and others. During our work together we will identify these misunderstandings and work towards alleviating the pain and suffering they have caused. I am consistently inspired by the strength and vulnerability of those seeking change. I have deep respect for how difficult and gruesome the process can be and consider it an honor to walk alongside an individuals' path towards healing.

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.

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.

Together we’ll work gently but deeply, using somatic and relational approaches like Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.
The patterns you’re struggling with once helped you survive and they don’t have to define your future. With support, healing is possible. You can understand these patterns with compassion, release what no longer serves you, and build a life that feels grounded, meaningful, and more like you, with greater connection and self-trust.

To support this deep psychological work, I also integrate body-based trauma therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting when appropriate.
To the world, you have it all figured out. Internally, you’re exhausted—trapped in the same painful patterns you've spent so much time trying to think your way out of. Sometimes you don't even feel like you know who you are. My practice is designed for people who have spent years trying to understand themselves and change old patterns, but still feel stuck. Together, we will bridge the gap between mind and body, moving beyond understanding your patterns to creating new experiences of connection, self-trust, and healing.

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.
