Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based & intuitive therapeutic approach designed to access and process deep emotional and physical trauma and blockages stored in the body and subconscious. It works by identifying eye positions linked to experiences or emotions—and using mindful subcortical processing to release and integrate. Brainspotting is a non-directive approach, honoring every person’s innate wisdom. Brainspotting combines neuroscience, somatic awareness, and spiritual expansion, offering a unique way to access deeper, subconscious layers where unresolved trauma often resides. This method is particularly effective for addressing issues like anxiety, trauma, performance blocks, helping clients move toward greater emotional resilience, clarity, and empowerment.
Somatic Parts Work is a therapeutic approach that integrates body psychology with Internal Family Systems (IFS). This modality helps us to explore different aspects of ourselves, each with its own thoughts, emotions, sensations, and roles within our inner world. These parts often develop as adaptive responses to life experiences, including trauma. This method goes beyond traditional talk therapy by engaging the body’s felt sense and innate wisdom. Through gentle, guided exploration, clients can connect with and heal these parts by tuning into physical sensations, emotions, and imagery. Somatic Parts Work helps uncover the deeper needs and messages of these inner aspects, fostering self-compassion and integration. It’s especially helpful for resolving internal conflicts, soothing anxiety, and cultivating a greater sense of wholeness, allowing clients to reclaim their true essence and live more authentically.
Experiencing expanded states of consciousness through plant medicine, rituals, and psychedelics can be a transformative tool for growth and healing. These journeys often evoke a profound sense of self-energy and interconnectedness—a grounded, authentic awareness that serves as a powerful inner resource. However, translating the insights from these experiences into everyday life can sometimes feel overwhelming or disorienting, whether the journey was pleasant or challenging. Integration work provides a supportive space to unpack these deeper messages, uncover the wisdom embedded in the experience, and harness the brain’s increased neuroplasticity to create meaningful and lasting shifts in your life.

Apart from trauma work, I specialize in helping athletes, executives, and creatives overcome mental blocks and access a state of holistic empowerment for greater success. Whether it’s performance anxiety, recovering after setbacks, overcoming subconscious guarding from injuries, or breaking through creative and professional barriers, my approach is designed to unlock your potential.
Using neuroscience-based techniques and somatic therapy, we work to identify and release limiting patterns, reconnect with your inner strengths, and cultivate the mental clarity and resilience needed to excel under pressure. The result is a profound shift toward empowered confidence, improved performance, and sustained success in competition, leadership, and creative pursuits.
