A New Kind of Therapy

Combining trauma therapy and expansion for wholehearted change


Do you want to feel less pain, suffering, anxiety, anger, loneliness or overwhelm?

Do you want to feel more excitement, love, creativity, motivation, hope or joy?

Then you’re in the right place.

This is trauma therapy that is truly comprehensive

Therapy that creates enough space and time to release the trauma, limiting beliefs and negative stories

While also breathing energy and life into expanding your possibility, potential and inherent worth

Therapy- the way you want it

Longer Sessions and Intensives

After a decade in private practice, I have learned the secret to change.

You need space. Intentional space where you feel supported to dive into your subconscious and rearrange the beliefs to release what holds you back, and grow what you want more of in your life.

Ebb & Flow is built for people who are done with the traditional therapy model. Instead of squeezing growth into a recurring hour that only allows for ~20 minutes of deep work, we work in intensives and extended sessions — dedicated, immersive time that gives all of you the space you need to go deep enough to actually move something.

Finally. The change you have been seeking.

And what we do in that time isn't just about processing what's gone wrong. Through expansion brainspotting, we use the brain's own capacity to open into who you're choosing to become. This isn't problem-focused therapy. It's potential-focused healing that is rooted in your innate ability to grow.

Do these thoughts sound like you?

  • I’m not good enough

  • I’m not lovable/I don’t deserve love

  • I am weak and powerless

  • I am permanently damaged

  • I don’t belong

  • I’m too much

  • I’m a failure/I’m broken

  • I’m stupid

  • My needs and emotions are a burden

  • I have to perform for love

  • I’m not safe

  • I’m unimportant/insignificant

  • If people knew my secrets they would leave

  • I have to please everyone

  • I should have known better

If so, a therapy intensive is just the thing to go subcortical and release these thoughts once and for all

Is a therapy intensive right for you?

Take the quiz now!

What we call cPTSD, or complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, sounds intense and scary! Many of my clients feel like that’s too dramatic. So instead of that, I call it “wounded identity development.”

When we are young, we are developing our identity. We are creating our beliefs about ourselves and the world. For most of us, we aren’t fully able to develop in our family homes.

As kids, we have to choose between being attached to our caregivers OR being our authentic selves. Not being attached threatens our survival and sense of belonging, so we slowly learn to step away from who we truly are; our passions, needs, wants, and emotions.

Instead of calling it cPTSD, I call it “wounded identity development

What does wounded identity development look like in adulthood?

  • Your romantic relationships all seem to have the same pattern

  • An ongoing and pervasive sense of “I’m not enough.”

  • Emotionality that is either over-reactive or under-reactive

  • Your sense of self and identity is limited to a few characteristics

  • You are overly controlled and strongly fear making mistakes

  • Substances make you feel ‘normal’

  • You have good relationships but feel lonely or disconnected

  • Good things make you feel guilty

  • You like feeling secretive

  • You keep achieving but you never feel satisfied for long

  • You don’t trust your instincts

  • Autoimmune or chronic health issues

Deep healing isn’t about losing the parts of you that you love.

You can keep being excellent and treat the perfectionism

You can keep caring a lot about other people and lose the codependency aspect

You can keep your adventurous spirit without feeling like you are running away from something

what our work together will look like.

Because I keep a small caseload, you will receive a premium level of care during our sessions.

Intentional

Keeping a small caseload allows me more time to prep for session so that you know when you walk in, I am ready on all levels for our time together. Outside of session, I am taking trainings, reading, listening to podcasts, and tending to my own energy so that I am always bringing more to the table.

Creative

I want our time together to feel unique and individualized. I pull from different therapy approaches and other activities to best align with what feels most supportive for you. There is room for flexibility and intuitively led choices. Extended sessions and intensives give us the gift of time, allowing us to access creativity for your healing and expansion.

Presence

Presence is the foundation of my work with clients. I cultivate a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere that invites you to notice sensations, thoughts, and emotions as they arise without needing to fix or push them away. This steady, attentive stance supports safer exploration of difficult material, helps you access internal resources, and fosters sustainable shifts toward greater regulation and self-compassion.
