I’m a trauma therapist with a deep commitment to supporting individuals on their healing journey. Specializing in Brainspotting and trauma-informed care, I work with clients navigating the effects of childhood trauma, family conflict, and sexual abuse. My approach is grounded, intuitive, and empathetic, combining both emotional support and practical tools to help you move toward healing and growth. I believe that every person’s experience is unique, and I take great care in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel fully seen and heard. Through the use of Brainspotting, I help you access the deeper parts of the brain and body to release emotional pain and shift old patterns that may be holding you back. Whether you’re healing from past trauma or working through current challenges, my goal is to guide you with patience and understanding, allowing you to process at your own pace. Together, we’ll unlock your potential, heal old wounds, and empower you to move forward with clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of self.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect a warm, supportive space where we begin getting to know each other and laying the foundation for our work together. I’ll ask questions to learn more about you—your background, current concerns, and what brought you in. This is also a time for you to share what you’re hoping to gain and ask any questions you may have about the process. We’ll talk through goals, explore what’s most important to you, and start building a sense of trust and connection. It’s a collaborative conversation, and you’re always in control of how much you choose to share. By the end of the session, we’ll have a clearer understanding of where you are, where you’d like to go, and how we might get there together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist who practices Brainspotting, I believe one of my greatest strengths is my ability to create a warm, grounded space where healing can unfold naturally and safely. I bring both deep presence and clinical expertise to my work, allowing me to meet each client where they are. Whether we're addressing trauma, family conflict, or relationship issues, I’m skilled at guiding clients through those challenging emotional and somatic processes with compassion and care. I am intuitive and attuned, which helps me notice the subtle cues in both the body and the emotions—giving us powerful entry points for deeper healing. I trust in the brain and body’s wisdom and support clients in learning to trust themselves too. I aim to help you feel both supported and empowered as we work together to unlock your potential, heal past wounds, and shift limiting patterns. My approach is not only compassionate but also focused and intentional, so you can move through the process with clarity and confidence.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work well with folks who are healing from toxic relationships and with people in your family that you’re trying to keep the peace with that have toxic and hurtful traits that have negatively affected you. I work well with trauma that has occurred as a child and adult, friendship betrayals, betrayals in general, and sibling violence. Sibling abuse is different from sibling rivalry and it’s oftentimes overlooked and chalked up as sibling rivalry. It’s ongoing verbal or physical violence between one sibling against another. I work with military men and women who have served our beautiful country who have a history of childhood trauma and combat trauma. I work with first responders like police officers and veterans.

Brainspotting
Imagine your brain is like a big library." Sometimes, when something really big happens—like something scary, sad, or overwhelming—your brain doesn’t know where to put that memory or feeling. It kind of gets stuck on a shelf all messy. Brainspotting is a way to help your brain clean up that messy shelf. A therapist helps you find a special “spot” with your eyes—like a place you look that connects to that stuck feeling. Weird, right? But it works! When you look at that spot, your brain starts to unlock the feelings, even if you don’t have to talk about it. It helps your body calm down, and your brain sort things out like it was meant to. So Brainspotting is like giving your brain a quiet way to heal and feel better—kind of like how a cut heals without you doing anything, just by giving it the right conditions.
Trauma Informed Care
Sometimes, people go through really tough things that can leave behind big feelings like fear, sadness, or anger. That’s called trauma. It’s like your brain and body remember the hard stuff, even when you want to forget. A trauma-informed therapist knows that those hard things can make it hard to trust, talk, or even feel safe. So they go extra slow, listen really carefully, and never push you to talk about anything before you’re ready. They help you feel calm, in control, and safe while you work through those tough memories—one step at a time.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Imagine you’re talking to someone who doesn’t try to fix you, boss you around, or tell you what to do. They just really care about how you feel and what you’re going through. In person-centered therapy, the therapist is like a kind, calm guide. They listen without judging you, and they believe you’re the expert on you. That means they think you already have the answers inside—you just might need a little help finding them. It’s like having someone who holds the flashlight while you explore your own thoughts and feelings.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy is like being a detective for your own feelings." Sometimes we feel mad, sad, or worried, and we don’t even know why. Psychodynamic therapy helps you look back—kind of like flipping through a photo album in your mind—to figure out where those feelings started. It’s like there’s a secret story going on inside you, and a therapist helps you figure out what’s behind the feelings you have now, especially ones that keep popping up over and over. They help you understand how things from your past—even things from when you were really little—might still be affecting how you feel today. And once you understand that story better, those feelings aren’t so confusing anymore, and you can start to feel more in control.
