I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Brainspotting and I integrate these approaches thoughtfully based on your needs and goals.
Life can bring unexpected challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected from ourselves. Therapy can be a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. I offer a warm, compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns contributing to distress.

My training includes EMDR, Brainspotting, somatic breathwork, and Internal Family Systems (parts work), allowing me to support healing that is both deep and grounding.
You might be someone who looks “fine” on the outside but feels overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted on the inside. Maybe you overthink everything, feel stuck in old patterns, or carry experiences you’ve never fully had space to process. You want relief, clarity, and to feel more like yourself again—but without being told to “just think positive.” You’re looking for a therapist who feels human, safe, and real… someone who can help you slow down, reconnect with your body and emotions, and actually heal. If this sounds like you, I want to invite you to reach out and we’ll take the first step together.

My clients are high performers including athletes, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are driven, capable, and under constant pressure to perform. Despite their success, they often experience anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, or a sense of being misunderstood. They want to maintain a high level of performance while feeling more balanced, fulfilled, and connected in their personal lives. They are seeking tools to manage stress, move through low emotional states, and improve relationships. At their core, they want to thrive not only in what they do, but in who they are beyond performance.

I use EMDR, Brainspotting, and clinical hypnosis alongside somatic, attachment-based, and psychodynamic approaches to support regulation, connection, and a stronger sense of yourself.
You care about people, the world, what's just, and those who don't have anyone in their corner. You show up for all of it without being asked and haven't quite made it onto your own list. Something still hasn't let go. The past finds its way back before you've decided to let it in. Anxiety runs in the background of everything. Trauma, attachment wounds, and grief shape your nervous system, your relationships, and how you see yourself. What you've lived through is still here, in the grief that stays, the quiet sense of not enough, and old unresolved pain. You want relief. For this weight to lift. To feel more like yourself again.

“Is this relationship ending or can it be repaired?” You need a fighting chance. Affairs and sex addiction consultations upon request. When betrayal trauma happens, it’s important that you find somebody trained or experienced in supporting you through this. Women’s groups help the trauma and relationship. Men’s groups address the addiction and how to help their partner. Day 1 of finding out about infidelity, porn addiction, or sex addiction is commonly called "D" day - or discovery day. My personal story and professional experience can help. Support and guidance are the key for crisis. Next is stabilization, reconnecting.

Do you find yourself reliving unpleasant memories from your past? These could be situations of childhood abuse/neglect, the horrors of war, or single traumatic events (such as car accidents, assaults, or any situations in which your life or the life of a loved one was threatened). If this is the case, you might have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, which is common in civilian and military populations. THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE IS A SOLUTION. There is a powerful therapy called EMDR which has proven to be effective with not only PTSD, but also many other mental health disorders, because more often than not, trauma is the core issue.

My ideal clients are adults and older adults, individuals, couples, or families feeling intensely disconnected or stuck in patterns that create distance, conflict, or confusion. They may be navigating intimacy, sex, trust, identity, or communication—sometimes within non-monogamous relationships, sometimes while healing from ruptures or rediscovering emotional closeness. I especially love my work within the alternative, queer, and LGBTQ+ community.
People don’t come to me to be "fixed"—they come because they need something different, and they want someone who’s not afraid to be there with them.

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results." ADDICTION & DEPENDENCY result from an unconscious refusal to move through the pain of withdrawal (from a chemical, thought-process, behavior, other person, etc.). The behavior gets repeated, accompanied by cycles of disappointment, shame, GRIEF, frustration and isolation. Having experienced this same cycle (more than once) I bring years of education, training, personal recovery experiences and compassion to our therapeutic relationship. My PERSONAL therapeutic process is on-going. I would be honored to help you in yours. EASY? Nope. WORTH IT? Yes!

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.
