My passion is connection - within the self and spirit, between hearts in relationship, in community, and between our inner selves and the greater universe. We seek to balance emotional development and expression, neuroscience and the biology of the brain, and the energy flow of our body and spirit. Our work together may include strength-focused talk therapy, movement, and creative-based therapy (colors, paint, etc). We may explore communication style and patterns, and work on skills to reconnect with loved ones, or to let go of hurtful relationships. To get deeper into the powerful subconscious, we may use mindfulness, EMDR/ BrainSpotting (effective treatments for PTSD), hypnotherapy (for changing habits & unwanted subconscious patterns), medical hypnosis (preparing for medical procedures), and coaching toward goals. Together we work out what’s going on in your amazing brain, heart and spirit to help calm anxiety, increase joy and healing, and get moving toward goals! I work with people of all ages. I have been working with children and families for almost 20 years -as a teacher, therapist and coach, and mother of 2. I am passionate about using neuroscience, connection and the power of the subconscious (EMDR and hypnosis) for healing energy and spirit!
