Brainspotting Therapists in Pasquotank County, NC
I have been trained and supervised in EMDR and Brainspotting.
Here on the Outer Banks of NC, some of us comb the beach looking for bits of glass, that have been softened by time spent in tumultuous waters. Sea glass started out intact and then by some misfortune or someone's carelessness, ended up adrift and eventually broken at the bottom of the sea. Like sea glass, you, too, are a treasure, waiting to be found. Rather than feeling invisible, unimportant, or damaged, I can assist you in discovering who you really are-your inherent value, beauty and resilience. I have extensive training in the area of trauma treatment.

I also offer Brainspotting for deeper healing.
You’re ready for something to change. Anxiety and stress make everything feel overwhelming. You’re tired of feeling misunderstood, of keeping it all together on the outside while running on empty inside. Maybe you’re managing a chronic illness that no one sees, or juggling motherhood, and professional roles without space to breathe. You’re always “on,” always needed, but rarely supported. You don’t want to feel so stretched thin or disconnected anymore. You’re ready to feel more like you again!

That’s why I integrate EMDR and Brainspotting, two evidence-based approaches that work directly with the brain and body to process and resolve stored trauma.
You’re capable. Responsible. Successful in many areas of your life. But internally, you may feel stuck — carrying stress, anxiety, relational patterns, or unresolved trauma that doesn’t seem to fully resolve. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy for high-functioning adults who want deeper work — not just coping skills. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, leaders, or driven individuals who appear steady on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or chronically activated on the inside.

Using EMDR, Brainspotting, CRM, and somatic work, we’ll build safety, strengthen resources, process trauma stored in the body, rewire survival patterns, heal core wounds, and uncover your deeper truth.
Are you successful on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, or constantly second-guess yourself? Maybe you feel disconnected from who you truly are—like you're performing instead of living? Did you grow up in emotionally unsafe or invalidating environments? You may struggle with boundaries, chronic shame, perfectionism, or a sense of never being “enough.” If this resonates, you may be living with developmental trauma and stuck in survival patterns. I want you to know, these are not character flaws- they are protective survival strategies your nervous system adopted early on.

I use Brainspotting, a somatic and mindfulness-based intervention, to support clients in working on issues where they feel stuck.
You’re exhausted from trying desperately to balance your needs with the demands of kids, school or work. As a parent you’re struggling to understand where your child is coming from. Does the “parent guilt” creep in while you’re trying to keep all the plates spinning? Maybe you have a child who is anxious, worried, has difficulty sleeping or going to school, or expects perfection. Perhaps you are learning how to parent differently than how you were parented. Balancing caring for you vs. others is hard. Thoughts of anxiety, self-doubt, and concern that you aren't good enough can become a negative self-talk loop in your head.

I am certified in Brainspotting, TF-CBT, Grief and trained in EMDR,DBT, CBT, EFT, CPT and Triple P (parenting program).
One Christmas season it had rained a lot. I attempted to circle my yard with my car to slide out of my drive way, and I got stuck. The more I tried to get out the more stuck I became. Finally, I had to do what I was dreading and call a tow truck to get me out of my own yard! Well, sometimes in life, we get stuck in our own mud, and we have to call help to get us out.

Feeling out of control of your emotions? Our ability to be intentional in shaping our relationships can be compromised by unproductive mind patterns limiting our ability to be deliberate in how we manage ourselves when emotions are running high. Free yourself from your past, become the author of your own story. As a marriage and family therapist I work systemically with individuals, couples, and families harnessing the power of our relationships to heal. Systemic therapy assumes that disfunction exists in our interactions with others, people are not "sick" or broken" and therapy optimizes our important relationships.

You’ve always been the strong one—holding it all together on the outside while feeling anxious, exhausted, or disconnected within. Maybe you’re quietly battling postpartum struggles, depression, or anxiety. Maybe life feels unfamiliar—like you’re in the middle of a transition you didn’t choose, questioning your identity or purpose. You long to exhale, to feel like yourself again. You want peace in your mind, clarity in your spirit, and the freedom to stop pretending. You’re not looking for quick fixes—you’re ready for real healing, and I’m here to walk with you through it.

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.
