About Me

Hi Everyone! I am a Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) therapist, trained in January 2022, with a clinical focus on complex PTSD and a wide range of trauma-related presentations. Prior to training in DBR, I practiced as an EMDR therapist trained in structural dissociation, a framework that still deeply informs and enriches my trauma-focused work.

​

Before becoming a therapist, I spent several years as a teacher—an experience that continues to shape my approach to consultation and training. I value clarity, depth, and creating learning environments where therapists feel both supported and challenged in their growth. I am curious to understand individual learning styles and thought processes, and I value everyone’s unique presentation.

​

Since completing my DBR training, I have assisted in 15+ Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and S2 DBR trainings, supporting clinicians as they deepen their understanding and application of the model. I remain in ongoing 2x/month consultation with Dr. Frank Corrigan, founder of DBR, as well as Dr. Tina Shrigley. I have also received training in integrating the Alexander Technique with DBR and continue consultation with Martin Warner as needed.

​

I am deeply passionate about the transformative potential of DBR—both for clients navigating complex trauma and for therapists expanding their clinical skill and confidence in this work. I am grateful to be in a position where I am profoundly moved over and over again by the incredible resilience of the human brain and spirit.
