Expand your capacity

Learn to shift how you feel, rapidly heal wounds, and experience increased freedom.

Find safety within yourself again.

When trauma or overwhelming experiences remain unprocessed, they create patterns that keep you disconnected from your true self.

You might notice your nervous system feels perpetually on high alert. Thoughts race, emotions overwhelm, and your body carries tension that no amount of "figuring it out" seems to resolve.

Relationships that once felt nurturing now trigger old wounds. Despite understanding what's happening intellectually, something deeper keeps you locked in reactive patterns.

Your body remembers what your conscious mind may have forgotten. Those inexplicable anxiety spikes, the chronic pain, the difficulty being present – these are not character flaws but signals from a nervous system seeking resolution.

Happiness is not about adding more to your life. It’s about unwinding the beliefs, patterns and behaviors that block your natural state of joy and presence.

We all have moments where we know what we should do…

and we don’t do it.

Instead we

  • watch another episode

  • play one more game

  • zone out

We tell ourselves

  • I’m not motivated/lazy

  • I have an addictive personality

  • I have no will power

  • eat another cookie

  • have one more drink

  • turn to self-medication

  • I’m selfish

  • I’m a failure

  • It’s hopeless

Your body knows the way to healing

Through our work together, you'll experience:

  • A calmer nervous system that responds rather than reacts

  • Freedom from limiting patterns that have kept you stuck

  • Release of physical tension and emotional weight

  • Deeper connection to your authentic self and others

  • Expanded capacity to tolerate discomfort without being overwhelmed

  • Integration of past experiences that no longer control your present

I use a combination of therapies including Brainspotting, Accelerated Resourcing, somatic therapies, parts work and the Safe and Sound Protocol to access the subconscious and work with your brain and body’s natural healing mechanisms. Unlike approaches that focus primarily on changing behaviors or overcoming obstacles, I help you learn to read your internal landscape better and navigate based on who you authentically are. It's not about fixing what's "wrong" with you—it's about recognizing limitations that keep you stuck and developing new pathways forward.

While talking is involved, these approaches bypass the “thinking” part of the brain and don’t require you to retell and relive painful stories. We’ll go straight to the source of what’s keeping you disconnected, reactive, or stuck, and begin to heal it at the root.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist focused on expanding your capacity to respond to distress by creating awareness of limitations that have kept you stuck, and empowering you to recognize your potential for growth. I use a combination of Brainspotting, mindfulness, parts work, and somatic work to help you navigate the ups and downs of life and find your path.  I am an avid learner and always open to hearing about what you have tried and what has worked or not worked for you.  I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your unique experiences and working collaboratively to identify goals that matter to you.

I studied lots of different therapies and found that talk therapies helped me to know what was going on but didn’t always create change in my clients.  While my clients might agree with the theories, their hesitations and reluctance came out as a lot of "yeah, but..."  In their distress, they were seeking relief, not change.   

 My clients weren't the problem, my approach was.  I realized I needed to address the nervous system dysregulation first.  I needed to teach them to connect their mind and body to work through their distress to find regulation.  Only when they felt calm in their body could the limitations lift and their brain be open to new awareness about themselves and their behaviors.  They could tolerate distress, see their situation differently, repair negative cycles of behavior, improve self-awareness, and feel empowered to live a better life.

I have over 15 years of experience working as a neuro-rehabilitation psychologist in hospitals with individuals suffering from trauma (caused by biological and external causes), resulting in emotional, neurological and major physical trauma.  I’ve worked extensively with concussions, head injuries, dementias and other neurological disorders. I felt limited by the ineffectiveness of talk based therapies to heal many forms of trauma or address the nervous system dysregulation in my patients.  As I integrated Brainspotting, somatic therapies, and resourcing therapies with talk therapies it allowed me to heal on a level that I didn't realize was possible. I saw clients' nervous systems relax, repetitive thoughts let go, improvements in sleep, and less pain complaints. 

I’m Katrina.

When you find safety in you, you connect you to the wisdom that resides within you, you are not being told what to do, but reconnecting with what you already know to be true.
