Can you relate to any of this?

Trauma is the emotional and physiological response to experiences that overwhelm your sense of safety, stability, or control. It can stem from single events or from ongoing stress, and it doesn’t always have to be something “big” to have a big impact—what are often called “little t” traumas, like chronic criticism or emotional neglect, can deeply shape how we move through the world.

Trauma lives in the body as much as the mind, often showing up through anxiety, hypervigilance, or feeling stuck. Therapy can help you safely process these experiences and reconnect with a sense of calm, clarity, and self-trust.

Neurodivergence refers to the natural variations in how people think, process information, and experience the world. It includes conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, giftedness and others that affect cognitive functioning, communication, or behavior. Being neurodivergent isn’t a flaw—it’s simply a different way of experiencing life that comes with its own strengths and challenges.

My approach honors these differences and supports clients in building self-understanding, confidence, and tools that actually work for how their brains are wired.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a proven therapy designed to help people heal from distressing experiences and trauma. During EMDR sessions, clients focus on a difficult memory while engaging in guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, which helps the brain process the memory in a way that reduces its emotional impact. This approach can be highly effective in helping individuals feel more grounded, empowered, and at peace.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based treatment that helps people overcome trauma, anxiety, PTSD, and other emotional challenges. With guidance from the therapist, ART allows clients to process distressing memories quickly and replace them with positive images, often providing relief in just a few sessions. This approach is designed to help clients feel calmer, more in control, and free from the weight of past experiences.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a compassionate, evidence-based approach that helps individuals understand and heal the different “parts” of themselves. In IFS, we explore these parts — such as the inner critic, the protector, or the wounded self — to foster self-acceptance and create inner balance. By building a deeper connection with your core Self, IFS empowers you to lead with calm, clarity, and confidence.

Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based therapy that helps access and process trauma, emotional pain, and stuck patterns by focusing on specific eye positions, or "brainspots," that correlate with stored experiences in the brain and body. It works by bypassing the thinking mind and tapping into the deeper, unconscious layers where trauma and emotions are held.

This approach allows for deep healing without needing to retell or overanalyze the story. Many clients find brainspotting to be a gentle yet transformative way to release what's been keeping them stuck.

I welcome clients who are already working with another therapist but are seeking additional support to address trauma through approaches like EMDR or Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). My goal is to collaborate with the therapist and client to provide targeted trauma-focused care while respecting the therapeutic work already in progress. Together, we can create a coordinated approach that best supports your client’s healing journey.
