I support children ages nine and up, teens, and adults.
I am a Pain Reprocessing specialist, as well as an Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) practitioner. I have also completed years of training in Attachment‑Based Intensive Short‑Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (AB‑ISTDP).
I weave neuroscience, emotional insight, and relational depth into care that feels both grounded and hopeful. Whether I’m teaching adolescents how the brain learns (and unlearns) neuroplastic symptoms, guiding them toward the feelings underneath anxiety, or designing creative exposure activities — including one unforgettable anti‑zombie mission that helped an adolescent client reclaim the outdoors — I bring a mix of specialization, humor, and tailor my services to each client's individual needs.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and evidence‑based; clients often come to me feeling stuck or confused by their symptoms, and together we build clarity, confidence, and the courage to move through fear and avoidance toward a values‑based life. Whether you or your child is navigating ME/Chronic Fatigue, neuroplastic pain, or neural circuit dizziness, I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space focused on real, meaningful change.
