"The body doesn’t lie. It holds the memory of every experience we’ve had, and when we listen to it, we can heal."
-Peter Levine

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps the brain heal from distressing or overwhelming experiences. It’s based on the idea that when something is too intense to fully process at the time, it can get “stuck” in the nervous system and continue to cause emotional or physical reactions later on. Using gentle back-and-forth stimulation (like eye movements or tapping), EMDR helps the brain reprocess these memories so they can be stored in a more peaceful way. As this happens, the memory feels less upsetting, new insights often emerge, and people can respond to the present with more ease instead of reacting from the past.

FLOW-MDR is an integrative, movement-based approach to trauma processing developed by me that uses flow arts as an active form of bilateral stimulation. By engaging rhythmic, embodied movement, clients access a state of flow that supports nervous system regulation, presence, and adaptive reprocessing. This approach blends the structure of EMDR with creative, somatic expression, allowing insight and healing to emerge through the body as well as the mind. FLOW-MDR offers an accessible, empowering pathway for clients who benefit from movement, creativity, and experiential depth in therapy.

As a client, Brainspotting often feels like entering a state of focused mindfulness, where your attention gently settles on what’s happening inside rather than trying to analyze or fix it. You may notice subtle body sensations, emotions, images, or memories arising and shifting on their own, sometimes without needing many words. Many clients report feeling more regulated, emotionally spacious, and better able to stay present in their lives, with lasting changes that continue to unfold beyond the therapy session Often described as a combination of EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, it supports integrative somatic and neurobiological healing.
Brainspotting Therapy
Sandtray therapy allows individuals to make their inner world external by creating scenes in a sandtray using miniature figurines. This process helps express complex emotions, thoughts, and experiences through metaphors and symbols, especially when words fail to communicate. As a client, it feels like a safe, nonverbal way to explore and make sense of yourself, offering a unique opportunity to reflect, process, and gain insights into one's emotional world.
Sandtray Therapy
Expressive arts therapy is an intermodal approach that uses creative activities—like drawing, music, movement, and writing—to explore emotions and identity and promote healing. It encourages a low-skill, process-oriented experience that doesn’t require artistic talent. Engaging in the arts can induce an altered state of consciousness, helping individuals access deeper feelings and insights beyond verbal expression.

Parts work is a therapeutic approach based on the idea that we all have different parts of ourselves, each with its own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. These parts can include a critical inner voice, a scared, helpless part, or a nurturing, cartaking part. Parts work helps individuals understand and integrate these parts, leading to a peaceful internal system. By fostering compassion for all aspects of oneself, it promotes self-awareness and self-compassion, helping to heal inner conflicts and create a more harmonious Self.

Nature-based therapy invites individuals into a reciprocal relationship with the natural world as a source of healing, reflection, and connection. This approach might include listening to the wisdom of plants and trees, creating altars or offerings that honor the land and its cycles, and having heartfelt conversations with elements of nature as if they were trusted companions. Through these practices, people often rediscover a sense of belonging, grounding, and guidance that extends beyond the human realm.
Nature-Based Therapy
Mindfulness-based therapy helps people slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and meet their thoughts and emotions with curiosity rather than judgment. It includes practices like sitting meditation—resting attention on the breath, sensations, or sounds—and walking meditation, noticing each step and the surrounding environment. Over time, these simple practices strengthen awareness, emotional regulation, and a sense of steadiness, making it easier to respond to stress with clarity, compassion, and intention.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Dream work therapy invites clients to explore the symbolic language of their dreams as a pathway to insight, healing, and integration. Drawing from Gestalt therapy, dreams are experienced as living parts of the self, while sandtray therapy offers a tactile, visual way to externalize and deepen meaning. EMDR and Brainspotting are woven in to gently process the emotional and somatic charge held in dream imagery, allowing implicit memories and nervous system patterns to resolve. Together, this integrative approach supports profound self-understanding and embodied change.
