Accelerated Resolution Therapy

ART uses the brain’s natural ability to reprocess distressing images and sensations of suffering. With guided eye movements & visualization, ART rewires experience so we keep the facts but lose the pain. This gentle, effective approach requires no homework, no processing between sessions, & no need to verbalize trauma! Lasting relief occurs in an average of 1-5 sessions and the process is safe, grounding, empowering, and even fun. Clients are bewildered by immense change with so little effort.

Somatic Therapy (Body Centered)

I could have spent my whole life talking about trauma instead of moving it through. As a student who stumbled into the field, I was its biggest critic. I wanted evidence that the body mattered. In my most profound relationships now as client or healer, we don't talk a lot & the evidence is right there in the ability to process & release pain without analysis paralysis. I lead folx to learn from their own body how stress shapes the way they walk the world & they let it lead them toward freedom

Postpartum

The postpartum period brings pressure to be better than however & whoever we are in the moment. People plan for, mourn, & wearily raise babies fighting the inherent needs, aches, & discomfort of being human. I help folx find their wise & adaptive parts the world has deemed unruly, so they can feel the gorgeous-mess of it all & know that vitality is inherent too. The grasp of depression, anxiety, grief, or fear is not loosened by battle, but by the addition of safety, relationship, & being seen.

Parenting

Years ago I saw a mom collapse on a stack of perfect-parenting books with shame-filled tears falling onto her baby's head. I hid the books & held them both (& still do that when I can). I'm now a Perinatal Mental Health & Trauma Therapist helping parents navigate depression, anxiety, scary thoughts, rage, shame, & the unbearable weight of impossible expectations. I help folx let go of getting it right so they become safe, seen, & supported on the embodied journey they are so perfectly made for.

Historical Trauma

I'm a wounded-healer in the business of inter-generational healing. Folx talk about post-traumatic stress without recognizing the powerful potential of post-traumatic growth within families. Affective neuroscience offers an invaluable picture of how trauma was embedded in ourselves & our loved ones and ALSO of how to integrate & heal it rather than pass it on to our children. I help clients rewire how they show up in world to forge a safer path for raising healthy whole-hearted children.
