Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems informed, many years of training and experience; also utilize Brainspotting, CBT, EMDR and other types of therapies.
Brainspotting
certified, many trainings, I use a pointer or clients may prefer gaze spotting to find an eye position that the client focuses on to process unprocessed traumatic memories. It involves subcortical processing via the optic nerve.
EMDR
certified, I use the evidenced based flash technique and EMDR to processed unprocessed traumatic memories in order to reduce trigered responses and reactivity based on earlier traumatic memories.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
certified, many trainings and consultation, coaching on current issues and future goal planning for careers and other goals.

She’s amazing loving and genuine. I really feel heard and seen instead of show hard it can be to connect to someone

I found her energy to be chaotic, which is a turn off for me. Was impressed that she did emdr and brain spotting. Will keep searching.
