Have you ever heard of brainspotting? When I first heard of it, I was honestly skeptical because it sounded very "woo-woo". However, when I tried it, I was able to reduce my distress on a major trauma in one session. Consider trying it out in your next session!

(Keep in mind that results will vary. I cannot guarantee that your trauma will be resolved in ___ number of sessions).

Today would’ve been my first day back in the school building, but I decided to take a leap this year and solely be a clinical counselor. So, here I am…in my office, caffeinating myself, preparing for a full day of clients. I’m feeling super grateful to be able to do what I love each day 💜

Many people spend years thinking they are living with anxiety, when it could very likely be OCD. The gold standard treatment for OCD is Exposure Response Prevention, which is why your "anxiety" may not be responding to treatment all those years. If you feel like you have been working non-stop to improve your anxiety, but nothing is working, I encourage you to reach out to myself or another clinician trained in assessing for OCD.

With the beginning of the school year coming up, I've decided to update my hours:

Mon & Tues: 9–2
Thurs: 10–4
Fri: 11–5 (waitlist)
Sat: 9–1 (waitlist)

Friday and Saturday spots are currently full, but you can join the waitlist. This means you’ll be first contacted if a spot opens or when additional availability is added.

I offer flexible options for both adults and kids throughout the day. Adults can often use lunch breaks or virtual sessions, and kids can be seen during the school day with a school note provided.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, now is a great time to grab one of the weekday spots before they fill up.

One thing about me is that I love learning, which is why I ended up with two masters degrees when I only needed one 😅

Recently, many of my clients have expressed distress over insomnia. So, of course that means I’m going to take some training to help them!

Can you believe school is starting this month?! It feels like summer break just began.

Unfortunately, the start of school can lead to your child feeling anxious, nervous, clingy, or full of “what-ifs”. This is a big transition and their brain is trying to protect them.

As a parent/guardian/support, the goal isn’t to eliminate anxiety; the goal is to help them learn that they can handle it. Small, supported steps, go a long way.

Is your child having “all the feels” as they prepare for back-to-school? Visit my website, email, or call to see how I can help!
