Evidence-based, trauma-informed therapy using Brainspotting and Play Therapy to access trauma stored in the nervous system — for real, lasting transformation.
Therapeutic Approaches
How I Work
Brainspotting
A powerful, brain-body approach that targets complex trauma stored deep in the nervous system. Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting accesses the subcortical brain—where trauma lives—to facilitate deep, lasting healing at the neurological level.
- ✓Targets complex trauma stored in the body and nervous system
- ✓Effective for CPTSD, anxiety, and emotional blocks
- ✓Works where talk therapy alone may not reach
- ✓Available for teens and adults
Play Therapy
Children communicate through play. As a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S), I use creative, expressive methods that access what words alone can't reach. Play therapy helps children process complex trauma, build emotional regulation, and develop resilience—all within a safe, nurturing relationship.
- ✓Developmentally appropriate for children
- ✓Builds emotional regulation and coping skills
- ✓Collaborative approach with parents and caregivers
- ✓Also effective for teens and adults with creative techniques
Person-Centered Therapy
At the heart of everything I do is a deeply relational approach. Person-Centered Therapy is not a technique—it's a way of being with you. It means I believe, without reservation, in your capacity to heal. I don't lead with an agenda. I follow your wisdom.
The therapeutic relationship itself is the healing. Research consistently shows that the quality of the connection between therapist and client is the single greatest predictor of positive outcomes. I take that seriously. You will never feel like a case file here. You will feel known.
- ✓You set the pace — no pressure, no agenda
- ✓Unconditional positive regard for who you are
- ✓Genuine empathy, not clinical detachment
- ✓You are the expert on your own life
- ✓The relationship is the foundation of all healing
Areas of Expertise
What I Specialize In
Complex PTSD & Chronic Trauma
The invisible wounds—emotional neglect, invalidation, abandonment—that shape how you see yourself and relate to others.
Trauma Stored in the Nervous System
If years of therapy haven't moved the needle, it's because your trauma is stored in your body. Brainspotting accesses it at the neurological level.
Survival Mode & Dysregulation
When trauma becomes your baseline. I help you move from stuck survival mode to thriving—with a nervous system that feels safe.
Grief & Bereavement
Loss of a loved one, loss of the childhood you deserved, loss of the person you thought you'd become. All grief is valid here.
Shame & Identity
That deep belief that you're broken, too much, or not enough. Trauma planted those lies. Therapy helps you uproot them.
Relationship & Trust Struggles
Difficulty trusting, people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, or pushing people away. These patterns make sense—and they can change.
Private Pay. On Purpose.
I chose a private-pay model so your care is never dictated by insurance companies. No session limits. No forced diagnoses. No one between us deciding what you need.
Complete Confidentiality
No diagnosis required on your permanent insurance record. What happens in therapy stays in therapy.
No Session Limits
Your healing timeline is yours. No insurance company decides when you're "done."
Flexible Session Length
Insurance locks you into a rigid billable hour. Private pay means your sessions aren't boxed into insurance time constraints—your healing gets the time it actually needs.
Clinical Freedom
I choose the most effective approach for your unique situation, not what insurance approves.
