My masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, alongside my specialized training in Brainspotting and LENS has equipped me to create a space of warmth, collaboration, and openness.
Something's off. Maybe, who you are right now doesn't fit the picture of who you want to be. It may be behaviors that interrupt your relationships, previous overwhelming experiences that haunt you, or unhealthy ways of coping that you are dealing with, alone. You're looking for someone help you identify your unique, innate strengths as well as help guide you to the resources and tools you may need, while feeling safe and seen.

I use brainspotting to quickly heal your brain from trauma.
Anxiety is always around you. You've been told that you're "Too sensitive" and "Too much." You feel misunderstood & tired. Where do you fit in? Yet you're the one everyone goes to for help. But you struggle to ask for support or be your full self with others. You're lonely & anxious. You push the trauma deep down. On the outside you have a great career, you look good, but you don't know how to stop people pleasing and perfectionism. You've prayed, read books and journaled, but you're feeling desperate. You have too much on your plate. You need long-lasting change NOW.

I have found that a combination of Brainspotting and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy gives the most effective and long lasting results for my clients.
You want to appear confident, but deep down you worry what others think and criticize yourself. The desire to be perfect in every aspect of life makes you want to give up. The countless hours you spend rechecking your work, overanalyzing social interactions, and trying to make others happy is exhausting. Nobody can see or understand the mental gymnastics you are doing every...single...day. It’s been hard to find happiness in the little things and you constantly feel distracted by the thoughts in your head. Is this how life is supposed to be? You know this isn’t working and even know you need a change. But what and how? Let me help!

You have this intense void inside of you and nothing can fulfil it. Your better half that was once a match made in heaven became your worst enemy. You feel like you are stuck in a Groundhog Day where somebody else has pressed repeat: shuffling kids from an activity to another, endless nights spent on job demands, exhausted has become your middle name. You have been trying so hard to cope: God knows how many self help books, meditation practices, yoga classes, self-medicating with alcohol, adult sites you have been trying! Yet nothing seems to work and you find yourself feeling stuck.

That painful event keeps replaying over and over in your head. You can’t stop seeing the images of it. Thoughts of what you could have done differently play on repeat. They force their way into your mind, leaving you overwhelmed, panicked, and burnt out. The triggers are everywhere and anxiety and depression feel like they’re constantly looming over you. If you could just let it go maybe you could move on with your life. You no longer want to carry the weight of what happened but to enjoy the things you once loved.

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.
