You’ve worked hard to live a balanced and happy life, but it doesn’t always feel like you thought it would. Despite your achievements, there are aspects of your life that don’t feel quite right and you are struggling to navigate a way forward. Perhaps you feel uncertainty around your career, relationships, or family or are struggling to process a new life transition. You may have even tried therapy before but still struggle with anxious or negative thoughts and feelings. You want to overcome these challenges, and make meaningful change. I'm here to help you make this transition by providing informed, and individualized care.
I specialize in providing Brainspotting Therapy, a brain based therapy tool that is highly effective in treating symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, depression, somatic experiences and much more. In addition to treating challenging symptoms, Brainspotting can also be used to expand good feelings, creativity, motivation and hope.
If you are curious if Brainspotting might be helpful for your circumstances, I'd be happy to set up a free 15 minute consultation. I look forward to hearing from you! I do provide telehealth services so you may be located anywhere in the state of California or Oregon.
