I know how severely these challenges can impact your life so I utilize evidenced based therapies like DBT, trauma/compassion focused therapies, EMDR and Brainspotting that provide the relief you need.
Simply being a woman can be stressful! Add in trauma with its intrusive thoughts, and intense emotions or anxiety or depression with its worry and regrets, and it feels like your spinning out of control, it's too much. Maybe you just had a baby and you should be happy but you're anything but. No-one gets you and the mommy guilt is agony. Possibly your birth experience was even frightening and you cant stop reliving it. Tackling treatment might feel scary, but know that I "get you". I listen and will be by your side, teaching you the skills to cope so you can live the life you want to live, present and at peace.

As an experiential trauma therapist, I go beyond talking to help you heal at the root using somatic, embodied approaches like Brainspotting and expressive arts therapies.
Do you feel stuck in therapy, wondering why things aren’t shifting the way you hoped? Maybe no matter how much insight you gain, your emotions still hijack your life, leaving you exhausted. It’s frustrating when you’re doing everything “right” and still feel stuck. If you’re looking for a different kind of therapy, you’re in the right place. Deep patterns of anxiety, stress, and emotional turmoil don’t just live in the mind—they live in the body. Healing isn’t about trying harder; it’s about going deeper. When we engage the whole mind-body system, real transformation happens, and you can move beyond just coping to truly thriving.

You’ve been anxious that you can’t get everything done, causing distress and, in some cases, panic attacks. You’re not just grappling with anxiety either, but the weight of past losses has also caused depression which leaves you feeling lost. All of these factors seem to have affected every aspect of your life. Your relationships are strained, work feels meaningless, and your overall well-being is not where you wish it was. You realize that you haven’t been able to manage these emotions effectively and feel burdened to figure out how to overcome them on your own.

I could feel trapped fear & anxiety being released from my body. After only 2 sessions I started to see real improvements; I could do things that I wasn’t able to without being triggered or anxious. Having a strong bond with a trauma therapist that had training in these a techniques created a pathway for me to build a life free from the limitations of trauma

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.
