You may be feeling discouraged, but it can get better. Have you tried therapy before and found it uncomfortable, unhelpful, or worse yet, harmful, or culturally irrelevant? When working with me you have a free consultation to see if we are a good fit because there is no "one size fits all." Healing occurs within the framework of a relationship between a counselor and the client. I am humbled to have the opportunity to help people envision possibilities and achieve new realities. Create new patterns of health and expand into new ways of being with Brainspotting. You can schedule online for "initial consultation"

I bring 23 years of experience and offer brainspotting, talk therapy, and art expressions. I am certified in Brainspotting and I am a Brainspotting consultant, and have additional formal training in DBT, EMDR Level I and II, and Telemental Health. I am a CAMS-Care clinician. I support multicultural perspectives and indigenous ways of knowing/being.

I believe that everyone can reach an optimum state of health but it is a journey and never just a destination. I believe that the counselor’s role is to assist in the facilitation of personal growth and wellness in each individual client. I accept ALL clients from ALL backgrounds: people of all creed, belief, LGBTQIA+, ages, stages, and walks of life.

Where you look affects how you feel. Sometimes you cannot talk your way out of feeling. That's where Brainspotting comes into play.
