I have high respect for the courage it takes to dive into processing trauma, and look forward to the opportunity of helping others do this. I am trained in EMDR and trauma-focused CBT. I love to watch my clients be successful with EMDR, and I'm amazed at how quickly it has worked. I understand that each individual will experience EMDR differently and it is a beautiful process.

I hope to create space for clients who are looking to understand themselves through integration and living by their values. I'm open to anyone in the process who is striving to be honest and curious about their journey.

At times you may feel broken. You’re different and as much as you try, you don’t feel like you fit in. You don’t even know where to begin but you are hoping to find healing and maybe even looking for a change. If any of this sounds familiar, you might be experiencing some kind of life transition, trauma, anxiety, or depression. It can be incredibly challenging and exhausting to face the mix of emotions and thoughts alone. You can find a safe space here and I will fully accept you as you are. Together we can explore ways to help you find the kind of life you want and deserve. I’d love to work with you and be a part of your journey.

Hello, I'm Brynn, and I'm so happy you found me. I know you may feel like you’re ready to commit to giving therapy a try. But perhaps there is some fear as well. Maybe you’ve had a bad experience with therapy in the past. Or maybe you were raised to think negatively about seeking mental health help. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and make you feel heard. My goal is to help those I work with feel empowered and hopeful. To do that we may use EMDR, and other ways to help connect those parts of you that may feel disconnected. So let’s talk through some of the things you’ve been feeling and come up with a plan together.

For the most part we are all walking around pretending to be okay and hoping our positive affirmations, daily meditations, gratitude journal entries and the annoying latest push-up challenge will finally pay off with the bliss, confidence and motivation we see in our imaginary future selves. When in reality we might be feeling the cliché, "Hot MESS", which I will say has a certain je ne sais quoi about it. Right? The truth is we all have a core self who wants to be healed and has the power to do it!Yet it is almost impossible to do without true Connection, Compassion and Curiosity of who we really are.

Do you feel fearful, anxious, or depressed? Are you weighted down by feelings of shame and guilt? Do you feel like your relationships are struggling? Are you ready to make real, lasting changes in your life? For over 16 years I have been committed to working with people to reconnect with their true self by putting anger, anxiety, depression, shame, and trauma in its place and creating a place of peace and calm within themselves. We cannot control the world or other people. We CAN control what we do with our mind, body, and spirit to live the life we desire.

In seven years of psychotherapy work with children, adolescents, college students, adults, and families, I have found that unhealthy levels of stress can worsen problems related to self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and beyond. These issues often lead to additional problems at home, school, or work and ultimately affect relationships with friends and family. Struggling with difficult life transitions may have a significant and lasting impact on the mind. It can be hard to navigate these situations or to know where to turn.
