Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Trauma doesn't follow a timeline — it can live in the body long after the event has passed. We meet you where you are, using Brainspotting to help your brain and body process traumatic memories at their source, and IFS to gently work with the parts of you still carrying fear, hypervigilance, or shutdown.

Dr. Brian M. Berman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in the treatment of trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder. Experiencing any trauma can negatively impact quality and leave a person feeling disconnected. By utilizing evidence-based treatments such as prolonged exposure therapy (PE), I will teach you to better manage intrusive trauma memories so you can start living life again.

Life Coach, MDiv, MA
My understanding of trauma has shifted along with international research on why some events create lasting challenging effects for some people but not for others. Our collective awareness has gone from thinking, “What's wrong with you?” to asking, “What happened to you?” and now focusing on, “Who was there for you?”
A simple retelling of a traumatic experience does not always deeply heal the one who suffers. While it can feel good to be truly heard, especially for those who have never told it before and need real empathy, repeatedly telling the story does not often change the subconscious beliefs implanted during the trauma or the nervous system’s reactivity.
Instead, we build a new relationship with a traumatic experience by re-approaching the memory and inviting a shift. Often the shift is around “Who could have been there for you.” While in factual reality, no one may have stopped the trauma, we can access another perspective that enables our bodies, hearts, and minds to feel supported. We can do this many ways: through role play, through calling in ancestors or pop stars or our highest selves, or by letting our wise adult-self take over the situation. Or we may use drawing materials or nature to discover a new part of the experience we didn’t realize before.
I've taken many trainings in the origins and effects of trauma and PTSD, and I find working with the nervous system and imaginal realm (creative liminal space) highly effective. I'm not a licensed mental health therapist; I'm a spiritual life coach, so my work is integrative. I offer: calm spaciousness & empathy as you talk, embodied processing options (drawing, clay work, self soothing), and inner parts work (mediated inner dialogue or a “committee of voices,” similar to Soulwork or Internal Family Systems).
Then we make a plan to implement the new shift into everyday life.

Trauma can keep you from being able to reach out or respond effectively in relationships and other areas of your life. Lets work together to identify what happens when trauma takes over and what works for you in gaining greater control over it.

Trauma is our top focus. We know you are stuck with a 200 lb pole that you never consented to carry. We will work on chiseling tools out of that weight and lifting the load.
