About My Clients

The clients I work with are typically coping with the effects of trauma and are wanting to re-process that trauma in order to feel more connected and present. They are people struggling with generalized anxiety, Grief, PTSD, and depression. They may be struggling in their relationships, experiencing life transitions or trying to figure out who they are. If you are looking for support with decreasing emotional suffering in order to live a more fulfilled life, please reach out.

My Background and Approach

I understand the importance of the therapeutic relationship in fostering healing and growth. My commitment to your well-being is rooted in creating a safe, supportive, and trusting space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered. I work from a systemic, strengths based, and relational perspective that is rooted in trauma-informed and healing-centered approaches. I utilize Brainspotting to facilitate emotional release and healing of unprocessed emotions. In our sessions, we will utilize a blend of modalities tailored to your needs. We start by developing a deeper understanding of the activations/roots driving your symptoms. From there, we integrate techniques such as brainspotting, verbal processing, and somatics to support you in transitioning from a state of heightened activation to one of greater presence and connection. I am a level II Brainspotting Therapist.
