I know how infuriating it can be to find a therapist you can connect with, as I have personally fired 6 out of 7 of my own therapists. It’s important to note that I’m not your “typical therapist” (I dye my hair bright colors, will curse with you during sessions, and actively compete in powerlifting).

This has led to pursing further post-graduate training in Mindfulness, Past Life Therapy (using Hypnosis), Reiki, Internal Family Systems and Brainspotting.
We all need someone to talk to at different times in our lives, especially when it is difficult for our closest loved ones to give unbiased feedback. As a counselor, I join with individuals, couples and families to help them utilize their inner and collective strengths to face their difficulties. By building skills and strategies to address their struggles, people can transcend their past suffering, cope with present difficulties and move forward in life. I create space for connection and healing by offering a private, supportive, and safe place to allow people to bring forth their authentic selves.

I use an integrative approach and also incorporate Brainspotting to help clients process experiences on a deeper level and release what’s been held in the body.
Just as adults need space to explore beneath the surface, children often need a different language—play. I provide a safe space for kids to express big feelings, build confidence, and develop healthier ways to connect, while partnering with parents to support growth at home, creating a space where everyone can express themselves, heal and laugh together.

You’ve been holding everything in & keeping it together, but have hit your limit. You’d love to feel free, but instead feel stressed, frustrated, overwhelmed & lost. It’s hard to relax. There’s a fun & playful woman in there somewhere, but she’s stifled by overthinking, overshadowed by your To Do list, & weighed down by the needs & expectations of others. You provide support & encouragement to others, but not yourself. Despite your own successes, you question if you’re good enough, can handle it all, prepared, or doing things “right." You’d love to feel seen & heard, & need space, support & guidance to help you grow & transform.

I interweave Brainspotting with acceptance, mindfulness, and compassion-based intervention to promote brain-body healing.
Deep down, you’ve always sensed your true potential—there’s a part of you that knows you’re capable of big, beautiful things. But that light, that sense of possibility, feels harder and harder to access. It’s buried beneath a mountain of shame, fear, and frustration. You wonder why things seem so much harder for you than for others; even on your good days it feels like you’re one mistake away from losing it all. You feel like an outsider, like no one really gets you. You watch the women around you glide through life while you feel like you’re always one step behind. You long to belong—to express yourself, to really be seen.

My primary treatment is a neurological and somatic therapy technique called Brainspotting.
I love working with a variety of backgrounds and ages and providing a space that is warm, open and validating. I have a particular passion for working with those who are dealing with the effects of childhood trauma, whether that be emotional, verbal, physical or sexual abuse. Painful relationships can often be the place that many of our symptoms or unhealthy behaviors stem from. It's my desire to walk alongside those who want to bring healing to this area of their life and experience a deeper sense of safety within themselves and within their relationships.

I use a combination of trauma-informed approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and play therapy for younger clients.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck after difficult experiences. Trauma can impact how we think, feel, and relate to others—but healing is possible when we feel safe, understood, and supported. During my time working as a drug and alcohol counselor, an intensive case manager, and hospice worker, I began to understand how trauma can affect every person differently. I specialize in working with teens and adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.

You’re successful, capable, and deeply committed to your family and career but under the surface, you’re exhausted. Maybe you self-diagnosed after your child’s diagnosis or realized parenthood’s invisible weight is heavier than you imagined. You’re breaking generational cycles but unsure how to care for yourself in the process. You want to feel grounded, present, and at peace. I want to help you get there.

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.
