All About Me
I graduated with my Masters degree in 2014 in Denver, Colorado. I remained in Denver for 12 years gaining experience and creating my own private practice. What I noticed the most over the years was that every person is different but there's always a common thread. That thread is trauma. Trauma can be something big like loss of a loved one or a severe concussion but it can also be something small like moving to a new school in third grade. Life is not perfect and we have all experienced adversity.
Adversity can make it difficult for our brains to function at their best. Big traumas or small traumas can trip us up in numerous ways leaving us with symptoms like anxiety, depression, or attention issues. But the flip side of adversity is resilience. When faced with hardship, our brains are incredible and can adapt and heal to what happens to us, making us stronger. But there are barriers to resilience and every person is unique so it takes a holistic approach to healing to get the best results.
As a practitioner, I have honed my skills in healing trauma by constantly learning and utilizing the most cutting edge forms of therapy to promote resilience and healing with my clients. Brainspotting and Neurofeedback are, in my opinion, the most cutting edge treatments for mental, emotional and physical trauma, big or small.
In the midst of my experience with people from all walks of life, I developed a special love for athletes and tailored my approaches to not only heal traumas but also enhance performance. I was an athlete growing up and I suffered the "twisties" with tumbling. It crushed me to not know why my brain wasn't connecting with my body and why I couldn't overcome the adversity. I wish I had Brainspotting and Neurofeedback in my youth to work through that hard time and overcome it. That is why I am passionate about working with athletes now.
As a UF grad and avid Gator fan, I decided to open a second branch of my practice here in Gainesville, Florida a year and a half ago to dedicate my time and expertise to athletes here in Florida. So whether you are a middle school, high school, or college athlete, I'm here to help you become the truest version of you to perform at your absolute best!
