Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neuro-physiological sources of emotional and physical pain, and unhealthy coping mechanisms associated with trauma and other stressors. It allows you to channel the healthy "head" knowledge you possess to transform debilitating traumatic memories and​ the negative beliefs you feel in relation to the incident(s).

With IFS Informed parts work, the goal is that you will achieve trauma resolution by recognizing exiled parts and giving these parts a voice. This process will help develop an embodied sense of self that can compassionately hold your emotions, vulnerable sensations, and young parts of self in a way that is not harmful to you or others.

TCTSY employs physical forms and movements, though, the emphasis is not on the external expression or appearance (i.e. doing it "right"), or receiving the approval of an external authority. Rather, the focus is on your internal experience. With TCTSY, the power resides within you, not the therapist/facilitator. By focusing on the felt sense of the body to inform choice-making, TCTSY allows you to restore your connection of mind and body and cultivate a sense of agency.

Trauma can stem from many things: chaotic upbringings, attachments wounds, being neurodivergent or genderdivergent in a world that caters to neurotypical and gender-conforming people. This trauma can leave you feeling helpless, frozen, in pain, anxious, depressed, and having trouble connecting with yourself and others. I can help you process the trauma that is trapped inside of you and build your relationship with yourself, so you can live a secure, safe, and stable life.

Do you have a clear understanding of your gender identity, whether you are trans, non-binary, agender, or otherwise and need help navigating gender affirming care ? Or are you in the process of what gender identity and gender expression mean for you? Either way, I would love to work with you in learning more about yourself, challenging any internalized beliefs you have had to adopt for safety reasons, and figure out how to life a life of gender euphoria.

Are you a high school or college student looking for help navigating issues with friends, teachers, family, work, and academic stress? Does everything feel so heavy that you just find yourself doom scrolling and procrastinating on all the things you need to do? I can help by giving you a place to talk about all this stress and ways to help manage it. This is a super difficult time in life, you don't have to go through it alone.
