EMDR THERAPY SERVICES
Individual Therapy
Texas • Oregon • Washington• Colorado
Individual therapy is a space just for you to slow down, explore what feels heavy, and begin untangling the patterns that keep you stuck and cycling through.
You may look like you’re holding it all together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck repeating the same painful patterns in your relationships and life.
Maybe you’re the person everyone depends on. The one who keeps functioning, keeps showing up, keeps pushing through while quietly carrying the weight of everything underneath it all. And despite all the self-awareness, insight, podcasts, books, or previous therapy, something still isn’t fully shifting.
That’s often because insight alone doesn’t heal a nervous system that’s been living in survival mode for years.
My work is not about staying surface-level, endlessly venting, or handing you coping skills while the deeper patterns remain untouched. Together, we work at the root. We begin understanding the unresolved experiences, attachment wounds, protective patterns, and nervous system responses shaping how you relate to intimacy, conflict, emotions, trust, identity, and yourself.
I work with many clients navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, grief, relationship struggles, religious trauma, identity exploration, emotional disconnection, and the exhaustion of constantly feeling like they have to hold everything together alone.
I also understand how deeply family systems, culture, religion, and societal expectations shape the way we experience self-worth, safety, intimacy, pleasure, and belonging. Sometimes the deepest wound isn’t only what happened to you it’s the years spent believing parts of you were too much, not enough, unsafe, selfish, shameful, or unacceptable.
This work is about creating enough safety, depth, and honesty for something real to begin shifting. Over time, clients often notice they feel more grounded, emotionally regulated, connected to themselves, clearer in their relationships, and less controlled by anxiety, shame, fear, or old survival patterns.
Not because they became someone different, but because they stopped abandoning themselves in order to survive.
I can help with:
“An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior.” — Viktor Frankl
As Viktor Frankl said, “An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behavior.” Trauma responses aren’t weakness or flaws; they’re the body’s way of surviving what felt unbearable. My work is about helping you move beyond survival into balance, connection, and wholeness.

What Makes This EMDR Different?
Traditional EMDR is powerful, but not every trauma happens in words, memories, or single events. Some of our deepest wounds come from early preverbal experiences, relational breaks, or overwhelming events that left us feeling unsafe in our own bodies.
Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR combines the evidence-based effectiveness of EMDR with a deeply attuned, body-based, and relational approach. This means:
We listen not only to your thoughts, but to your body’s signals.
We attend to attachment wounds — the places where safety, love, and trust were broken.
We go at a pace your nervous system can actually handle, not what a “protocol” demands.
With advanced training in preverbal trauma, dissociation, and crisis protocols (Group Traumatic Episode Protocol & Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol), I bring flexible tools to meet your system exactly where it is.
How It Works
Eye Movements & Bilateral Stimulation – We use gentle left-right movements (eyes, taps, or sounds) to help the brain reprocess distressing experiences.
Somatic Awareness – You’ll be guided to notice sensations, shifts, and signals in your body as part of the healing.
Attachment Repair – I offer warm, attuned presence so you’re not “alone” with memories the way you may have been before.
Preverbal Access – Even if you don’t have words or pictures, your body holds memory. We can reach and heal those layers.
Specialized Protocols – With GTEP (Group Traumatic Episode Protocol) and RTEP (Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol), we can safely address both collective and acute trauma.
Who This Can Help
This EMDR approach is especially supportive if you are experiencing:
Trauma or PTSD, including complex or developmental trauma
Early life/preverbal trauma where there are no clear “memories”
Dissociation, freeze responses, or feeling disconnected from your body
Attachment wounds, betrayal, neglect, abandonment, or rupture in trust
Grief, loss, or heartbreak that feels overwhelming or “stuck”
Ongoing anxiety, panic, or chronic stress in the body
Feeling like talk therapy isn’t reaching the deeper layers
What a Session Might Feel Like
Safety First – We begin with grounding and resourcing so you feel supported.
Gentle Targeting – Instead of diving straight into the worst memory, we identify what feels approachable for your system today.
Processing with Support – While you focus on the memory, body sensation, or emotion, I offer bilateral stimulation and steady presence.
Releasing & Reconnecting – The “stuck” material begins to move; grief, loss, or betrayal can finally release instead of being carried alone.
Integration – We close by anchoring in calm, safety, or strength so you leave grounded and steady.
Why Clients Choose Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR
You don’t have to relive everything – Healing doesn’t mean re-traumatizing. We move gently, with safety always prioritized.
It works beyond words-Even preverbal or dissociated experiences can shift.
Relational healing – Many hurts came from relationships; healing happens within a safe relationship too.
Adaptable protocols – With training in GTEP and RTEP, I can tailor EMDR to both long-past wounds and very recent events.
Trauma-informed pacing – We go as slowly or as quickly as your nervous system can handle.
FAQs
What if I don’t remember exactly what happened?
That’s okay. EMDR doesn’t require perfect recall your body often knows where healing is needed even when the mind doesn’t.What if I dissociate or shut down in session?
With advanced training in dissociation, I track closely for signs of overwhelm and help you stay present. We always pause if needed, and grounding is woven throughout.What if my trauma is preverbal?
Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR is designed to reach experiences that happened before words or conscious memory. We follow the body’s cues instead of relying on narrative.A Glimpse of Healing
Clients often share after sessions:
“I feel like I can breathe again.”
“The grief isn’t crushing me anymore.”
“I didn’t have to explain everything, but something deep shifted.”
“For the first time, I feel safe in my body.”
Ready to Begin?
Healing is possible, even for trauma that feels preverbal, overwhelming, or too “stuck” to talk through.
With Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR, you don’t have to face it alone. Your body knows how to heal; together we create the space for it.

Healing doesn’t have to mean reliving the pain.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps people heal from trauma, loss, and distressing life experiences without the need to rehash painful details over and over again.
Many people avoid therapy because they fear that healing will mean reliving the worst moments of their past. ART offers a different way forward. Instead of retraumatization, ART provides relief: a structured, gentle process that allows your brain to release the emotional weight of trauma while keeping the facts of your life intact.
How ART Works
Every memory has two parts:
the story of what happened, and
the emotional charge—the way your body still reacts to it.
Trauma makes those emotional charges stick. That’s why you might feel panic, dread, or heaviness long after the event has passed.
In ART, we use guided eye movements (similar to REM sleep) along with calming imagery and visualization. This combination helps the brain "re-store" distressing memories so they no longer trigger the same physical and emotional reactions.
What makes ART unique is that you don’t have to explain every detail of what happened. You can work silently with your images while I guide the process. This gives you privacy, safety, and relief without needing to retell your whole story.
What Makes ART Different
Fast Relief – Many clients feel lighter, calmer, and freer within just 1–5 sessions.
Gentle & Empowering – You are always in control of what you share and how far you go.
No Retraumatization – You don’t have to relive the details of your trauma for healing to occur.
Lasting Change – Once a memory is reprocessed, the emotional relief tends to hold.
Who ART Can Help
ART can be a powerful healing tool if you are experiencing:
Trauma or abuse (including PTSD and Complex PTSD)
Distressing images, flashbacks, or nightmares
Anxiety, panic attacks, or phobias
Grief, loss, or betrayal that feels heavy in your body
Shame, guilt, or painful self-beliefs formed in crisis moments
Chronic stress or moral injury from caregiving, service, or crisis exposure
Feeling “stuck” despite previous therapy or personal growth work
What to Expect in a Session
A Safe, Grounded Start – We begin by making sure you feel comfortable, supported, and ready.
Gentle Guidance – You’ll be invited to notice an image or sensation briefly, while using rhythmic left-right eye movements.
Imagery Rescripting – Your brain naturally shifts and softens the old “stuck” images, creating new, healthier associations.
Relief & Integration – By the end of a session, most clients feel calmer, lighter, and less “triggered” by the memory.
You remain in control the entire time. You never have to go further than feels safe.
FAQs
How many sessions does ART take?
Everyone’s healing process is unique, but ART is designed to work efficiently. Some clients find relief in as little as 1–2 sessions for a single memory. More complex or layered experiences may take 4–6 sessions.Do I have to talk about the details of my trauma?
No. One of the most unique and client-protective aspects of ART is that you can process the memory without needing to explain it in detail to your therapist.Will I forget what happened?
No. You’ll still know the facts of your life, but the emotional “sting” attached to the memory fades, leaving you free to respond from the present instead of reacting from the past.How is ART different from EMDR?
Both ART and EMDR use bilateral stimulation, but ART is often more image-based, faster, and more structured. Many clients describe ART as gentle and surprisingly calming.What Healing Can Feel Like
Clients often describe ART with words like:
“It feels like the memory is far away now, not right in front of me anymore.”
“I know what happened, but it doesn’t hurt the same way.”
“I can finally breathe and move forward.”
Healing with ART is about freedom not forgetting. It’s about being able to live your life without the past constantly pulling you back or drowning in it.
Ready to Begin?
Healing doesn’t have to take years. With Accelerated Resolution Therapy, you can release what’s heavy, reclaim your peace, and step forward into a life that feels lighter and freer.

Healing happens where the body and brain meet.
Brainspotting (BSP) is a gentle yet powerful mind-body therapy that helps uncover and release the emotional and physical pain held deep in the nervous system.
When overwhelming experiences happen, the brain sometimes can’t fully process them. Instead, pieces of the memory, images, emotions, body sensations, become “stuck,” showing up later as triggers, anxiety, physical tension, or a sense of being frozen.
Brainspotting works by using specific eye positions, called brainspots, that link directly to those unprocessed experiences in the brain and body. When paired with mindful, compassionate presence, these brainspots open a natural healing pathway that allows your system to finally resolve what’s been stuck.
How Brainspotting Works
The Window to the Brain – Where you look can affect how you feel. In Brainspotting, we notice the eye position that connects to the unresolved material in your nervous system.
Deep, Gentle Access – This bypasses the “thinking” part of the brain (that often keeps us looping) and goes straight to the subcortical brain where trauma, emotion, and body memory are stored.
Processing & Release – While you focus on the brainspot, your body naturally begins to process, discharge, and integrate what was frozen.
Healing From the Inside Out – Rather than talking about the experience, Brainspotting allows your nervous system to resolve it.
What Makes Brainspotting Unique
Non-verbal, Body-based – You don’t need to retell your story or explain everything for healing to happen.
Gentle & Client-Led – You set the pace. I’m there to guide and hold a safe container, but your system leads the healing.
Works Beyond Words – Brainspotting reaches the parts of trauma and pain that talk therapy can’t always touch.
Integrative – Pairs beautifully with EMDR, ART, mindfulness, and other holistic healing practices.
Who Brainspotting Can Help
Brainspotting can be effective if you are experiencing:
Trauma or PTSD (single event or complex)
Chronic stress or emotional overwhelm
Anxiety, panic, or phobias
Physical pain or tension linked to emotional distress
Grief, loss, or heartbreak that feels stuck in your body
Performance blocks (in sports, art, career, or personal growth)
Feeling “frozen” or disconnected despite traditional therapy
What to Expect in a Session
Grounding & Safety – We begin by creating a calm, supportive environment where you feel secure.
Finding the Brainspot – Together, we locate the eye position connected to what feels unresolved or heavy.
Mindful Presence – You focus gently on the spot while noticing what arises in your body and emotions.
Natural Processing – Your nervous system begins to release tension, images, or feelings it’s been holding.
Integration – We end with grounding, reflection, and resourcing so you leave feeling steady and supported.
FAQs
Do I need to talk about my trauma in detail?
No. Brainspotting works even if you never describe what happened out loud. You can process in silence while I hold space.How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the complexity of your experiences. Some clients feel shifts in a few sessions, while others choose ongoing Brainspotting as part of their deeper healing journey.Will I feel worse before I feel better?
Sometimes emotions or body sensations rise up during the session, but this is part of the release process. We always work at a pace that feels safe, and grounding is built into every session.How is Brainspotting different from EMDR or ART?
All three therapies access the brain and body’s natural healing systems. Brainspotting is less structured, often quieter, and deeply attuned to the body’s signals. Many clients describe it as a “deeper drop” into healing.What Healing Can Feel Like
Clients often say after Brainspotting:
“It feels like a weight lifted from my chest.”
“I didn’t have to rehash my trauma, but something shifted inside me.”
“I feel calmer, clearer, and more in my body.”
Ready to Try Brainspotting?
Healing doesn’t have to be forced, rushed, or relived. With Brainspotting, your mind and body find their own way to resolution naturally, safely, and at your pace.

Healing the Pieces of You That Carry the Past
We all have different “parts/aspects” inside us. One part may feel anxious, another may get angry, another may carry grief, shame, or betrayal. Some parts are protectors, trying to keep us safe. Others are younger, carrying the pain of things we went through that felt too big to handle alone.
Parts Work is an umbrella for several powerful approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Ego State Therapy, Inner Child Work, and Somatic/Attachment EMDR all designed to help you connect with, comfort, and heal these parts.
Instead of fighting against yourself, you learn how to listen inwardly, so that every part of you feels seen, safe, and supported.
What Happens in a Session?
Grounding & Safety – We start by helping your body and nervous system feel safe in the here-and-now.
Meeting the Part – A part of you may show up: a younger child part, a protective part, or one holding loss, grief, or betrayal.
Listening With Compassion – Together, we slow down and hear what this part has been carrying.
Release & Comfort – When the part feels understood, it often begins to let go of pain, fear, or burdens it no longer needs to hold.
Integration – You leave with more balance and connection inside, with your parts working with you instead of against you.
How Parts Work Helps
Internal Family Systems (IFS) – Helps you access your “Self” the calm, compassionate core of you to lead and comfort your parts.
Ego State Therapy – Focuses on states of mind and body created during trauma, helping them reintegrate safely.
Inner Child Work – Gently reconnects you with younger parts of yourself that still carry hurt, offering them comfort and care.
Somatic & Attachment EMDR – Uses gentle, structured processing (with bilateral stimulation like eye movements or tapping) to help release trauma stored in the nervous system and repair early attachment wounds.
Each of these methods can stand alone, or we may blend them together always guided by what feels safest and most supportive for you.
Who This Is For
Parts Work can be especially helpful if you:
Carry grief, loss, or betrayal that feels stuck in your body or mind
Feel like you’re “at war with yourself” or pulled in different directions
Struggle with trauma, complex PTSD, or dissociation
Experience strong emotions that seem “younger than you”
Have tried talk therapy but still feel something deeper needs healing
Long for a gentler way to reconnect with yourself after pain
What Clients Often Say
“I finally feel like the younger me isn’t alone anymore.”
“I can see why I’ve been stuck and I don’t hate that part of me anymore.”
“The grief that’s been living inside me feels lighter.”
“I feel whole, steady, and more myself.”
Healing With Parts Work
You don’t have to silence, push away, or reject any part of yourself.
Every part has a story. Every part has wisdom. Every part deserves compassion.When your inner world begins to cooperate instead of conflict, you feel more present, empowered, and free. Reach out today to begin healing the parts of you that have been waiting to be heard.

Untangling the Storylines of Anxiety & OCD
When you’re stuck in anxiety, OCD, or looping thoughts, it often feels like your mind has “hooked” onto a story — a frightening what if that feels real, even when there’s no evidence.
Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is a specialized approach designed to help you identify and release these stories at their root. Instead of trying to argue with your thoughts or suppress them, I-CBT helps you gently notice where your mind made an inference a leap from uncertainty to fear and guides you back to what’s actually happening in the present moment.
How It Works
Tracing the Story – We follow the anxious thought back to its starting point, noticing where it shifted from possibility (“what if?”) to certainty (“this must be true”).
Separating Fact from Fear – You learn to recognize the difference between reality and the “OCD story.”
Returning to the Present – By grounding in your senses and lived experience, you can step out of the imagined scenario and into what’s actually happening right now.
Building New Pathways – Over time, your brain learns to let go of intrusive doubts more quickly, reducing compulsions and easing anxiety.
Who I-CBT Helps
I-CBT is especially helpful for people who:
Struggle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Feel trapped in loops of “what if” thinking
Get stuck seeking reassurance or repeating compulsions to feel safe
Struggle with decision-making, doubt, or intrusive fears
Feel anxious or overwhelmed by thoughts they “know don’t make sense” but can’t stop believing
Why Clients Find It Helpful
Gentle & Non-Confrontational – Instead of fighting your thoughts, you learn to step back and see them for what they are.
Clear & Structured – You gain practical tools for recognizing when you’ve entered the “OCD story.”
Freeing & Empowering – Over time, intrusive thoughts lose their power, and you gain confidence in your ability to live outside of their grip.
A Different Way to Heal
You don’t have to keep arguing with your thoughts or living under the weight of “what if.”
I-CBT offers a way to step out of the OCD story and return to your own story one that is grounded, steady, and free.If anxiety or OCD has been running your life, I-CBT can help you reclaim calm, clarity, and choice.

Gently Reclaiming Freedom from OCD & Anxiety
When you’re living with OCD or anxiety, it can feel like your life shrinks around the rules your mind demands you follow. Whether it’s washing, checking, counting, or avoiding, compulsions may feel like the only way to keep fear at bay. But over time, they take up more and more space, leaving you exhausted and stuck.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a highly effective, evidence-based therapy that helps you step out of this cycle. ERP teaches your brain and body that you can face anxiety without giving in to compulsions and that the fear eventually fades on its own.
How It Works
Exposure – Together, we gently and safely face the situations, thoughts, or feelings that trigger your anxiety. This is always done at your pace, with careful planning, compassion, and support.
Response Prevention – Instead of doing the compulsion or avoidance behavior that usually follows, we practice letting the feeling be there without acting on it.
Learning Through Experience – Over time, your brain learns that the feared outcome doesn’t happen, or that you can handle the discomfort without rituals.
Freedom Grows – Each practice step helps you reclaim more space in your life from OCD or anxiety’s grip.
Who ERP Helps
ERP is especially powerful for people struggling with:
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) of all subtypes
Health anxiety or intrusive fears
Phobias and avoidance patterns
Compulsions that feel impossible to stop
Anxiety that dictates daily routines or decisions
Why Clients Choose ERP
Proven Effective – ERP is considered the gold standard treatment for OCD.
Practical & Empowering – You learn tools you can carry into real-life situations.
Compassionate & Supported – You are never thrown in the deep end — we build exposures gradually, with steady guidance.
Life-Expanding – Instead of shrinking away from life, ERP helps you step back into it.
A New Way Forward
Healing doesn’t mean never feeling anxious it means learning that you can live fully even when anxiety shows up.
ERP gives you the chance to break free from the exhausting cycle of obsessions and compulsions, and to reconnect with the life you want to live.
If OCD or anxiety has been keeping you trapped, ERP can help you find freedom, strength, and choice again.

Breaking Free from Habits That Don’t Serve You
Sometimes our bodies develop habits or urges that feel impossible to control like hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, tics, or other repetitive behaviors. You may feel ashamed, frustrated, or even hopeless about breaking these cycles.
Habit Reversal Training (HRT) is a research-backed, skills-based approach that helps you gently interrupt these patterns and replace them with healthier, more supportive responses. Instead of relying on willpower alone, HRT gives you concrete tools to notice urges, respond differently, and regain a sense of control.
How It Works
HRT has several key components that work together to create lasting change:
Awareness Training – Learning to recognize the situations, thoughts, and sensations that trigger the unwanted habit.
Competing Response Training – Developing alternative behaviors you can do instead, which “compete” with the old habit until it fades.
Stimulus Control – Making small adjustments to your environment that reduce triggers and make success easier.
Relaxation & Stress Reduction – Since many habits are linked to stress or tension, you’ll also learn calming tools for your nervous system.
Ongoing Support – Practicing strategies in real-life situations until they become second nature.
Who HRT Helps
HRT is especially effective for:
Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) like hair pulling (trichotillomania) or skin picking (excoriation disorder)
Nail biting, cheek biting, or thumb sucking
Motor or vocal tics
Habits or repetitive patterns that feel “automatic” or hard to stop
Why Clients Choose HRT
Practical & Action-Oriented – Gives you step-by-step tools, not just insight.
Evidence-Based – HRT has decades of research showing real, lasting results.
Empowering – Shifts the focus from shame or self-blame to skill-building and growth.
Compassionate & Non-Judgmental – These behaviors are not “character flaws” they are patterns your brain and body learned, and with the right support, they can unlearn them.
A Path Toward Freedom
Healing isn’t about “just stopping” it’s about learning new ways to respond, reducing the grip of urges, and feeling confident in your ability to take control back.
With Habit Reversal Training, you can break free from old habits and open the door to healthier, more empowered living.

Understanding the “Why” Behind What We Do
So often, people come to therapy saying, “I know what I should do… but I can’t seem to make myself do it.” You are not alone. Change isn’t about willpower or self-blame — it’s about understanding the conditions that allow new behaviors to take root.
The COM-B Model is a compassionate, evidence-based framework that helps us get curious about why a behavior continues and what needs to shift for new behaviors to emerge. COM-B stands for:
Capability – Do I have the knowledge and skills I need to make this change?
Opportunity – Does my environment and support system make this change possible?
Motivation – Do I have the inner drive and readiness to keep moving forward?
When we look at these three areas together, we can uncover exactly where the “stuckness” lives — and how to gently unblock it.
How It Works
In therapy, we’ll explore your goals through the COM-B lens:
Clarify the habit or behavior you want to change (whether it’s stopping something that harms you, or starting something that supports you).
Identify barriers — is it a skill you need, a lack of support, or something about the way your brain and body respond?
Build personalized strategies — from skill-building and habit-stacking, to changing environments or strengthening motivation.
Test and adapt — because behavior change is rarely linear, and we’ll adjust together as you grow.
Who COM-B Can Help
This approach is especially useful for people who want to:
Break free from unhelpful habits (procrastination, avoidance, compulsions, body-focused repetitive behaviors)
Develop healthier daily routines (sleep, exercise, eating, stress management)
Strengthen emotional regulation and coping skills
Feel less “stuck” in cycles of shame, guilt, or self-sabotage
Move toward long-term lifestyle or recovery goals with clarity and structure
Why Clients Appreciate COM-B
Non-Judgmental – It sees behavior not as a flaw, but as something shaped by skills, supports, and motivation.
Practical & Flexible – Gives you a clear map of where to focus, instead of trying the same strategies over and over.
Empowering – Puts change back in your hands with step-by-step tools.
Compassionate – Validates how hard it can be to change while offering hope and direction.
A Clear Path Forward
Instead of wondering, “What’s wrong with me?”, the COM-B framework helps you ask, “What needs to shift so I can move forward?”
Together, we’ll build the skills, supports, and motivation that make real change not only possible but sustainable.

Yoga as a Bridge Across Healing Approaches
As a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200), I bring the wisdom of yoga into therapy not just as movement, but as a way of connecting mind, body, and spirit. Yoga offers practical tools to calm the nervous system, expand body awareness, and create a sense of safety skills that flow seamlessly into the therapeutic work I do with EMDR, Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems, Ego States, Inference-Based CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Habit Reversal Training, and the ComB Model.
Yoga doesn’t replace these modalities it strengthens them. By engaging the body and breath, clients can process, release, and integrate change more deeply.
How Yoga Complements My Therapeutic Approaches
With Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR (including preverbal trauma, GTEP, RTEP, dissociation):
Gentle movement and breathwork help regulate the nervous system and prepare the body to reprocess memories without becoming overwhelmed.With Brainspotting:
Yoga supports grounding during deep brain–body processing, giving clients anchors for safety and self-regulation.With Internal Family Systems & Ego States Work:
Yoga fosters curiosity and compassion toward the body’s “parts,” helping clients listen to and care for themselves from the inside out.With CBT, ACT, and Inference-Based CBT:
Breath and posture can shift awareness, supporting clients as they practice defusion, mindfulness, and alignment with values.With Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP):
Mindful breathing and body awareness become tools for staying present and tolerating discomfort without compulsions.With Habit Reversal Training (HRT) & ComB Model:
Yoga enhances awareness of urges and bodily cues, offering healthy, mindful substitutions for old patterns.
Why Clients Value Yoga in Therapy
Embodied Healing – Moves beyond “just talking” to release trauma and stress stored in the body.
Accessible & Adaptive – Can be seated, lying down, or standing; every practice is tailored to your comfort and needs.
Grounding & Regulating – Helps balance emotions, calm anxiety, and create inner safety.
Empowering – Gives you skills you can use anytime, outside of sessions.
Integrative – Enhances and deepens the work we do across all therapeutic modalities.
A Whole-Person Approach
Healing happens most powerfully when the mind, body, and spirit work together. Yoga is a gentle yet transformative way to bridge every modality I’m trained in, allowing you to move beyond survival and into a grounded, embodied sense of presence.
Whether you are processing trauma, navigating anxiety, or seeking to feel more at home in your body, yoga can be woven into our work to support deeper integration, safety, and growth.

Hypnotherapy uses the natural state of hypnosis a focused, relaxed form of awareness to access the deeper layers of the mind where memories, emotions, and core beliefs are held. In this state, your mind becomes quieter and more open, allowing you to explore and shift patterns that conscious effort alone often can’t reach.
You are always in control during hypnosis. It’s not about being “put under” or losing awareness it’s about gently guiding your attention inward, where the subconscious can communicate more clearly. From this place, healing happens at the root, not just the surface.
When we experience stress or trauma, the subconscious creates protective patterns to help us cope beliefs like “I’m not safe” or “I have to stay in control.” Over time, these patterns can lead to anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional disconnection. Hypnotherapy helps you safely revisit and reframe these imprints, restoring a sense of calm, confidence, and inner alignment.
Using imagery, mindful suggestion, and body awareness, we work directly with the mind–body connection to support deep integration and relief.
Hypnotherapy can help with trauma, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, phobias, self-criticism, habits, and performance blocks. More than symptom relief, it’s about reconnecting with your inner wisdom the part of you that already knows how to heal.

Important Clarification About Time & Structure
The “three-day” immersion title refers specifically to the three intensive therapy days themselves. The overall process extends beyond those days and includes preparation, assessment review, individualized treatment planning, integration support, and follow-up care over several weeks.
In addition to face-to-face session hours, I independently spend additional clinical time reviewing your history, assessments, attachment patterns, nervous system responses, and therapeutic goals to create a highly personalized immersion experience tailored specifically to you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The Rapid Transformation Experience is for individuals who are ready to make meaningful progress in a focused, intentional way especially if you’ve tried traditional therapy and still feel like something is missing. This approach is designed for people who want to address not just their thoughts and emotions, but also the nervous system patterns and body-held responses that keep them feeling stuck.
You may benefit if you’re living with PTSD, C-PTSD, or complex/childhood trauma and want to process what’s been holding you back without being retraumatized. Many of my clients are healing from religious trauma or high-control and high-demand groups, working to reclaim their identity and autonomy after years of suppression or fear. Others are carrying moral injury from experiences that clashed with their values, or attachment wounds that make closeness and trust difficult.
Some people come because they’re living in a state of dissociation, numbness, or emotional shutdown, or because their nervous system feels stuck on high alert hypervigilance, panic, nightmares, rage, or startle responses that feel exhausting to manage.
This work is also for individuals navigating sexual concerns from low desire and sexual pain to performance anxiety or intimacy challenges and for those seeking help with problematic sexual behaviors, sexual compulsions, or betrayal recovery in a non-shaming, compassionate space.
I also work extensively with OCD and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRB) like hair-pulling, skin-picking, or nail-biting, integrating approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) with body-based trauma therapy.
Many people I work with are military members, veterans, first responders, healthcare providers, athletes, performers, and high-achieving professionals who have learned to push through at all costs but now want to feel more than just functional. They want to feel whole, present, and alive again.
If you’re looking for more than symptom management if you want to address the root causes of what you’ve been carrying and create changes that last the Rapid Transformation Experience offers a way to work deeply, intentionally, and in a way that honors both your pace and your resilience.
-
Most traditional therapy follows a weekly, 50-minute session format. While that structure can be helpful for some, it often means spending a large portion of each session warming up, checking in, and addressing whatever feels most urgent in the moment leaving less time to go deep into the root causes. For many people, this results in slow progress or the feeling of circling the same patterns without real change.
The Rapid Transformation Experience is intentionally designed to be immersive and concentrated. Instead of spreading the work out over months or years, we meet for extended sessions or intensives that allow us to go further in one sitting without the constant stop-and-start of traditional pacing. This extra time creates space for deeper processing, integration, and nervous system regulation all within the same day.
What also makes this approach unique is that it’s fully customized to you. I don’t rely on a single method or rigid protocol. Instead, I integrate the therapies I’m most trained in and passionate about Somatic & Attachment-Focused EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Brainspotting, hypnotherapy, Ego States & IFS-informed therapy, ERP, I-CBT, and yoga-based nervous system practices along with advanced EMDR protocols for recent, complex, and group trauma work. This means we’re addressing not only your thoughts and memories, but also the body-held responses and patterns that talking alone can’t fully reach.
Another key difference: this work honors your whole story and your unique pace. We slow down when needed, accelerate when your system is ready, and focus on creating real, embodied change so you leave feeling lighter, clearer, and with tools you can use immediately.
In short, the Rapid Transformation Experience is different because it’s more focused, more integrated, and more holistic than traditional therapy and for many people, that’s exactly what’s needed to finally break through.

You might be ready for the Rapid Transformation Experience if you feel a mix of readiness, openness, and a willingness to try something different. Many of my clients come to this work after trying traditional therapy and making some progress but still feeling like something is stuck. You may have insight into your patterns, but your body and nervous system still react as if the threat or pain is happening now.
You might be ready if:
You’re tired of looping in the same struggles and want to address the root causes instead of only managing symptoms
You can commit time and emotional energy to focused, in-depth work, even if it feels a little daunting
You’re willing to approach healing through both your mind and body, even if body-based work is new to you
You’ve already developed some basic coping skills and emotional regulation tools that help you stay grounded during deeper work
You feel safe enough in your life right now to lean into processing meaning you’re not in the middle of an active crisis or unsafe environment
You’re open to integrating multiple modalities, not just talking, to create lasting change
You don’t need to feel “fully ready” or perfectly confident before starting most people feel some uncertainty. Part of my role is to help you prepare, pace the work, and give you tools to navigate anything that comes up along the way.
If you’re wondering whether now is the right time, we can start with a consultation call to talk about your goals, your history, and what you hope to experience through this process. Together, we’ll decide if the Rapid Transformation Experience is the right next step for you.
-
Yes. Many of my weekly clients choose to schedule a Rapid Transformation Experience when they want to make a concentrated leap forward whether to break through a stuck point, process a significant life event, or create space for deeper healing than a standard session allows.
For current clients, intensives are available in modified formats and with adjusted pricing, since we’ve already built a strong therapeutic foundation together. This allows us to move into deeper work more quickly, tailor the structure around your ongoing therapy plan, and integrate the breakthroughs from the intensive into your regular sessions for lasting change.
If you’re curious whether adding a Rapid Transformation Experience to your current therapy is right for you, we can discuss your goals, timing, and the format that would best support your progress.
-
Yes, you might sense that something profound still needs to change, yet you're unsure how to fully transition into a new experience of yourself with your current therapist. Perhaps you've gained cognitive understanding, but your body remains uncertain, sparking curiosity about how adjunct Rapid Transformation Experience therapy could assist. During your initial consultation, we will determine the best format for you.
-
It depends on your goals, your timeline, and where you are in your healing journey.
Some people start with a Rapid Transformation Experience because they want to make meaningful progress quickly whether they’re feeling stuck, facing a major life change, or ready to address an issue that’s been holding them back for years. The immersive nature of an intensive means we can go deeper, faster, and dedicate the time needed to work through layers of experience in one focused period. Afterward, some clients choose to continue with weekly sessions to integrate and expand on the changes we began in the intensive.
Others prefer to start with weekly therapy to build a foundation, establish trust, and gradually work toward deeper processing. Once we’ve built momentum, a Rapid Transformation Experience can act as a powerful accelerator helping you break through stuck points, consolidate gains, and move toward your goals more quickly.
Both paths are valid. The best choice comes down to how ready you feel for intensive work, the support you already have in place, and the pace that feels sustainable for you. In our consultation, we’ll talk through your needs and design a plan that fits you not a one-size-fits-all approach.
