You've been doing talk therapy for years but still feel stuck, like a jagged rock deep inside you. You are either someone who was affected by big or acute traumatic events or had a lack of emotional needs met growing up. Or you are someone who feels like their brain has always worked a little differently (ADHD/Autism)? Whether it's relationship problems, job issues, or just feeling overwhelmed and disorganized, sometimes it can feel like you just can’t get it right, despite tremendous effort. You're in the right place if you resonate! Together we can rewrite your story for a future that better reflects who you are and feel better.

I work with adults and teens who struggle with neurodiversity (ADHD, Autism) and complex trauma. In my sessions, I use a unique talk therapy as well as deep brain-based work. The talk therapy part breaks down many problems that are influenced by societal/cultural pressures while the somatic work helps heal trauma, attachment wounds, and performance issues.

Trauma is “stuck” in the deep brain (animal brain) and by talking we can only access the frontal cortex (thinking brain). You no longer have to feel frustrated in feeling this way. I use effective methods such as Brainspotting & EMDR to access what is stuck and help release it so you can live and feel better in the present and live the life you want to see.

My main foundation is Narrative therapy and Brainspotting. Narrative therapy provides shining a light on creativity and values and helps dignify the client. Brainspotting is utilizing deep brain-based work to relieve what is "stuck" in our subcortical. The two work together to help heal the mind and body.
