Ready to release emotional and physical pain —and feel lighter in your life?

Welcome to the place where unresolved trauma and body discomfort meet creative therapy—for relief and peace

I work best with brilliant, nerdy adults who tend to love Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and getting lost in fantasy books. If you’re the kind of person who thrives on imagination and creative exploration, you’re in the right place.

You’re brilliant, imaginative, and successful. Yet, you find yourself cycling between stress, pain, and just getting by.

You’re not about masking the symptoms with another cup of coffee, a self-help book, or another round of talk therapy that doesn’t go deep enough. These surface-level fixes aren’t your style—they don’t touch the root of the problem. You’ve got a life to live: a career you care about, family to adore, a home to enjoy, and passions waiting to be rekindled. Pain and trauma have already taken too much, and you’re ready to reclaim what’s been lost.

You want therapy that works for you—something creative and deeply aligned with how your brain processes. Therapy that doesn’t leave you stuck telling the same story 10 years from now with the same heat but instead helps you process what’s been holding you back so it becomes just that: a memory.

An experience that’s as creative as it is effective. One that rewires the pain and rewrites the story.

And you’re ready to do the hard but rewarding work to get there. You don’t want to just manage anymore—you want relief that lasts. Peace that feels real. A life where pain no longer controls the narrative.

It’s time to change the way your story feels.

Unresolved trauma isn’t just emotional—it takes a toll on your body, relationships, and future.

The Good News?

The science of memory reconsolidation shows us that the brain can safely rewire itself—changing the way painful memories and emotions are stored. Through therapies like ART, Brainspotting, and EMDR, we work with your brain’s natural ability to heal so you can process trauma without reliving every painful detail.

The result? Less emotional weight, reduced pain, and a clearer path back to the connected, creative life you crave. My focus is on helping you reprocess what’s stuck—trauma and neuroplastic chronic pain—to find lasting relief.

Here’s the Formula: Trauma/Pain + Reprocessing = Relief

Let’s get started with the kind of support that fits your needs.

Whether you want ongoing sessions, an intensive experience, chronic pain-specific therapy, or a nature-based VIP experience, we’ll find what works best for you.

Extended Therapy Sessions

Be honest: Sometimes, 50 minutes isn’t enough to get to the heart of what’s really going on. That’s where extended sessions come in—giving us space to explore what feels most pressing, without the rush. Whether we meet more frequently for deeper focus or stretch out sessions as needed, it’s about finding the rhythm that works best for you.

Therapy for Chronic Pain

Let’s be real: Chronic pain isn’t always straightforward. It can be neuroplastic—connected to emotions and unresolved experiences—or it can have physical roots. Either way, our sessions will give you tools to experiment with, explore connections, and see what shifts. Some people find pain relief through these deep brain therapies, and some don’t—but there’s still meaningful benefit along the way: emotional insight, stress relief, and learning to listen to your body with more compassion.

Garden Therapy Intensive

Picture this: A day set aside just for you in your own garden. We’ll use the time to tackle a goal, process what’s been on your mind, or simply let your thoughts unfold as you work outdoors. This is a unique way to explore deep brain therapies like Flash, ART, & Brainspotting, while engaging in activities like gardening, storytelling, or co-regulating with nature. It’s about having the space and time you need to think, feel, and experiment—at your own pace, in your own setting.

you can be who you are with me

Swear. Laugh. Cry. All of it.

Therapy with me isn’t just about showing up and talking—it’s about exploring what happens when you finally have the right kind of support. We’ll navigate whatever feels stuck and experiment with what healing looks like, knowing that every step forward brings new insights.

Whether you’re reconnecting with parts of yourself you’ve lost, wanting relief from chronic pain, or finding a bit more ease in your relationships, we’ll discover an approach that fits. I offer creative, brain-based therapies designed to help you process emotions and experiences without needing to talk through every painful memory.

This work isn’t about rushing to find a perfect solution. It’s about staying open to what shifts—whether that’s relief, clarity, or simply making space to breathe a little easier. Healing can take time, and every path looks different. Together, we’ll stay curious and explore what’s possible for you.
