A different approach to healing

Many neurodivergent people come to therapy worn down after spending years adapting to environments that don't match how their brain and nervous system operate. Over time, this strain can show up as chronic overthinking, burnout, unrelenting inner critics, or cycles of "pushing through" followed by collapse. These patterns aren't character flaws — they're signs of a system that's been under constant demand.

What an overwhelmed nervous system looks like:

• Constant mental overdrive or difficulty slowing down
• Swinging between exhaustion and restlessness
• Relying on distraction, productivity, or achievement to regulate
• harsh self-criticism and pressure to "do more"
• Feeling like rest has to be earned or is never enough

Therapy here doesn’t aim to override these patterns through insight or willpower alone. Instead, we focus on helping your nervous system settle, making sense of your internal experience, and gradually building regulation that allows change to hold. The goal isn’t to force you into someone else’s model of wellness — it’s to help you move from survival into a way of living that actually fits.

Healing in Practice

Brainspotting

Brainspotting works with the brain’s natural ability to process and integrate experiences that got “stuck.” Instead of reliving or analyzing trauma, we identify specific points of visual focus that activate the areas of the brain holding unprocessed emotional and physiological material.

This approach is especially effective when emotions feel overwhelming, reactions feel automatic, or talk therapy has only gone so far. Clients often notice changes not just in how they think, but in how their body responds — less intensity, more choice, more regulation.

Somatic Therapy

Your body often knows what your mind can’t articulate yet. Tightness, pressure, numbness, restlessness — these are signals, not just symptoms. We work with physical sensations to help your nervous system move out of chronic fight, flight, freeze, or fawn reactions. This isn’t about forcing calm and rest. It’s about expanding the capacity to feel without being flooded or shut down.

Over time, regulation becomes more accessible, not because you’re controlling yourself better, but because your system doesn’t need to stay on high alert.

Internal Family System (Informed)

We all have different parts of us — protective parts, critical parts, younger parts carrying pain. These parts aren’t pathological. They formed in response to threats (real or perceived) in the environment.

Rather than trying to get rid of them, we get curious about what they’re protecting and why they don't feel safe enough to soften. When these parts feel understood, they don’t have to work as hard. Change follows naturally, not through force. There are no bad parts, only parts shaped by experiences that haven’t been fully processed yet.

Where You Start

Whether you're the type to dive into everything at once or you have a specific burden you're seeking relief from, the process is the same. We start by building foundational awareness—of your somatic sensations, your unconscious reactions, and your deep-rooted patterns—at a pace that feels steady and manageable.

From there, the work moves toward felt, real change: fewer automatic reactions, more internal peace and self-trust, and a growing sense that you’re not fighting yourself to get through the day.

Feeling more fulfilled, connected, and alive isn't some abstract idea or distant goal. It's something that can be experienced in tangible, embodied ways today. If you're ready to move in that direction, I'm here to support you at every step.
