Trauma, Gender, and Brainspotting therapy for Washington and Oregon
Unapologetically you, fearlessly you, your best self. Finally.
We all have the capacity for healing and personal empowerment but life can get in the way! Sometimes it seems like the only chair left at the table is a cactus and life knows just when your feet are hurting most.
Some days you will cry your eyes out, laugh in hysterics at life’s timing, or scream in anger because you could swear each morning you wake to a world that has found a way to be more on fire than the day before. You might need to talk about sex, money, trauma, private thoughts... Maybe things you’ve never told anyone, maybe things you’ve never even said out loud. Maybe you can only discuss these things by using humor, even when you know it’s not actually funny. That’s ok, I’m here for it. And being a person is pretty strange sometimes! So we can laugh together through it all if that helps.
But just like a prism, your unique strengths and insights give you an ability to reconfigure your experiences into a full spectrum of possibilities. By stepping out of the darkness of fear and helplessness and into the light of curiosity and courage, you create an opportunity to be illuminated by the transformative power of healing through self-discovery and renewed authenticity.
I cannot wait to meet you and join you on this journey.
