Specialized Trauma Therapy
Virtual therapy services for residents of Michigan, USA
You’re feeling stuck and frustrated that you’re not seeing
the progress that you want in regular talk-therapy.
You know that what you’re experiencing isn’t tenable long term, as it’s impacting your health, relationships, parenting, and job (etc).
You know there has to be something more than just talking about and intellectualizing your issues.
You’re practicing all the right self-care and using good coping skills, but you still get emotionally hijacked regularly, making it very difficult for you to stay aligned with who and how you want to be, and it’s stressing you to the max.
Sometimes it feels like a small, scared child, or an acting-out teenager, lives inside of you, and you don’t feel like your mature adult self.
You often feel different and more sensitive than most other people.
You want to feel free from being regularly emotionally hijacked, and more in control of yourself and your life.
You want to address root causes vs. just chase symptoms.
You want to understand how your body is communicating with you, so you can more easily identify and articulate what you need.
You want to feel confident and comfortable speaking up for yourself, setting boundaries, and having a voice.
You want to feel able to honor your sensitivity and trust your intuition.
You want to live a life that nourishes and nurtures you, rather than depletes, you.
Getting to the root of your symptoms and trauma can go a long way towards enabling you to live an inspired and empowered life on your terms.
Let’s tend those roots.
Honor your feelings of guilt and fear while no longer
letting them hold you back.Stop walking on eggshells and taking care of everyone
but yourself.Let go of all the “shoulds” and learn to let your nervous
system, and deep inner knowings and wisdom guide you.Unapologetically communicate what you want and need
so that you’re not running on empty all the time.Feel more comfortable being yourself, and connecting with your body.
Feel more regulated, grounded, fierce, powerful, and
clear-minded.
Imagine if you could create a life that you don’t have to recover from, where you could…
What Makes Specialized Trauma Therapy Different?
While unique to each person, this is the general process we’ll go through to help shift your
physiology to ensure you’re not wasting your time or money in therapy for decades.
Identify the areas of your life where you have the most difficulty with getting hijacked or coping in ways that are no longer working for you. We'll identify your definition of 'success' and also explore the things that are possible when these patterns change to create our goals. I also like to provide empowering education about your nervous system.Identify Problem Areas & Create Goals
Identify resources and glimmers to help keep you grounded through this process. Along with that, I’ll help you explore and experience a deep, embodied, compassionate understanding, without judgement, around why it was so necessary and wise for you, at one point in time, to do the things you did in order to survive, and how it may be impacting you now.
Identify Resources and Deepen Self-Compassion
Collaborate and employ Brainspotting and an alchemy of other trauma-informed modalities to address the chronic stress and trauma that keep you stuck in unhelpful automatic patterns and behaviors, creating physiological shifts that will repattern your system and open the door for change to happen.
Brain and Nervous System
Repatterning & Regulation
Celebrate your wins, big and small, as you integrate these changes at the pace of your nervous system. Together, we'll watch as you flourish, and see your success and joy grow as you confidently start setting boundaries, saying “no” to the things that no longer serve you, and accessing more safety and peace inside. You get to take all the time and space you need for this work.
Celebrate Your Progress
and Wins!
Services are available through virtual, weekly individual
psychotherapy, or intensives for existing clients.
Accelerate Your Progress with a Therapy Intensive
A therapy intensive, for existing clients only, involves meeting for 2-3 hours at a time, for one or more days, to work intensively using Brainspotting and other healing modalities, to clear whatever it is that’s holding you back. Having extra time in highly focused sessions like these can allow us to move through issues that could otherwise take weeks or months in regular weekly therapy. Brainspotting is known for its rapid and effective healing, as we’re taking advantage of the brain’s ability to change and heal itself (a.k.a.‘neuroplasticity’).
An intensive can be ideal when:
-You have a specific, targeted issue you want to work on.
-Your schedule is packed, unpredictable, and/or you travel out of Michigan frequently.
-You want to make faster progress in individual therapy.
-You feel stuck with an issue that you’re not making progress on in individual therapy.
-We have worked together before and you need a “tune-up,” but you don’t necessarily need ongoing therapy.
Dear one, you don’t have to keep running on empty.
Are you ready to take the first step towards
deepening your healing and reclaiming your life?
