Brainspotting

I am trained in both Brainspotting and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), two powerful, brain-based approaches that can help process trauma, anxiety, grief, and other distressing life experiences. Both modalities work with the brain and nervous system to help reduce the emotional impact of difficult experiences and create new, healthier responses. Brainspotting helps identify and process emotional pain that may be stored in the brain and body, allowing for deeper healing beyond traditional talk therapy. ART is a structured, evidence-based approach that uses guided imagery and eye movements to help the brain process distressing memories in a different way, often without needing to discuss every detail of the experience. These approaches can help reduce emotional distress, increase resilience, and support lasting change by helping the brain and body release what is no longer serving you.

Trauma Informed Care

As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I use a trauma informed approach that empowers you to set your own goals and manage your progress at your own pace.

Attachment-based

Attachment therapy explores how your childhood experiences might affect your ability to form meaningful bonds as an adult. By creating a safe and secure therapeutic relationship, you will be able to explore your attachment to others.
