As a licensed therapist specializing in Brainspotting therapy, I am committed to helping individuals and families navigate emotional and somatic challenges stemming from trauma. I create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences and embark on a journey of healing. Throughout my career I have focused on deeply understanding and becoming an expert in all forms of trauma, which has lead me to become the Director of Pacific Trauma Center and a certified Brainspotting Trainer in addition to offering individual and family therapy. I use compassion, humor, and my natural ability to connect with anyone in the therapy room, bringing as much ease to the process as I can.
I find that even in the darkest sessions, my clients and I find laughter breaking through at times when it is needed most. My goal during our first intake session is for you to leave with a sense of hope and feeling heard. 

About

Discover the power of Brainspotting therapy. Tailored to individual needs, this modality offers a unique approach to processing trauma and promoting healing. Whether you are seeking therapy for the first time, or you have spent years and years in therapy and just keep getting "stuck," brainspotting can help. Brainspotting is a rapid and lasting therapy that can help you heal from the past no matter the severity of your trauma. 

 

Brainspotting makes use of relevant eye positions to help us locate the area of the brain where emotional pain and trauma is stored. This allows the client to focus, process, and release the core neuro-physiological sources of emotional pain and unhealthy coping mechanisms. With the trauma released from the brain and body, the client is able to connect with who they truly are are so they can reach their own greatest potential.

A Video Testimonial

There are certain issues that are easy for people to identify as "trauma." These might include war, physical or sexual abuse, car accidents, or the death of a loved one. However, there are many more subtle and less obvious ways that our brains and bodies can become traumatized and cause us to change our view of ourselves, others, and the world around us. Some of these might include, but are not limited to: bullying as a child, prolonged rejection at home or by peers, unhealthy childhood family dynamics, sports injuries, loss of home or financial security, infidelity, humiliation, parental rage or substance abuse, emotional abuse, infidelity, and so much more.

​

Brainspotting is a modality that has been proven to be effective at getting to the root of deep underlying trauma. Together we can work through these complex traumas and help you find lasting healing.
