Real results. Not just talk
Serving clients online in Seattle and throughout Washington.
I specialize in approaches including EMDR and somatic therapy that help resolve the root issues that underlie anxiety, depression and PTSD/CPTSD. My evidence-based approach often takes clients beyond where they were able to go with past therapies.
I offer therapy online, making it easier to fit into your life. I tailor my support to your own unique perspective, strengths and healing process. If you’d like to discover how I can help you finally feel good being you, please reach out for a free consultation.
You just want to live your life
You know how you want to live, but something keeps getting in the way. You may have done enough therapy to understand why and still find yourself facing the same patterns day after day. It can be frustrating, and you may wonder whether you are simply stuck this way.
You aren't broken. Sometimes understanding a pattern is not enough to change it. Somatic therapy, EMDR and parts work provide new ways to work with the emotional, protective and body-based patterns that can keep problems in place.
How I Help
I'm specialized in approaches that go beyond traditional talk therapy so that you can get the change you're looking for. You don't need to figure out which one you want before reaching out - we can figure that out together and even combine approaches based on what works best for you.
Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to resolving trauma and childhood attachment wounds, backed by evidence. Using mindfulness of thoughts, emotions and body sensation, you can work with places holding onto old patterns of protection and survival. This lets you find freedom from trauma and negative core beliefs.

EMDR
EMDR is an alternative to traditional talk therapy specifically designed to help the brain efficiently resolve past trauma and other upsetting memories. A large body of evidence has shown it effective for PTSD, depression and anxiety.

Inner Parts Work
By looking at the mind as being made up of different parts all with their own purpose and perspective, IFS-informed inner parts work can help you gain clarity, increase self-compassion, find emotional balance and resolve trauma.

Why These Approaches May Work When Talk Therapy Has Stalled
These approaches do more than explore a problem logically. Depending on your needs and readiness, therapy may also work with emotions, nervous-system responses and protective patterns connected to anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and trauma.
Preparation and pacing are part of the work. I help you build supportive tools and a trusting therapeutic relationship before approaching difficult material, then work in manageable pieces to reduce overwhelm.
Issues I Help With
I use these approaches with a range of concerns, with particular focus on anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD and CPTSD.
PTSD/CPTSD
PTSD/CPTSD includes post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex PTSD (chronic or relational trauma), childhood trauma, betrayal trauma, religious trauma, dissociative disorders, and other trauma-related conditions.

Getting Started
Feeling uncertain or anxious about starting therapy is completely normal. It does not mean you are not ready. It is your nervous system trying to protect you from uncertainty, vulnerability, and change.
Getting started is simple. You can request a free consultation, ask questions, and talk through what you are looking for before committing to ongoing therapy. If we’re a good fit, I’ll help you begin with a plan that feels clear, manageable, and grounded in your goals.
You won’t have to wait long to get an appointment - almost always a same week session is available. You can see my availability when you go to book a consultation.

I have referred others to Brandon because I want other people to be able to experience working with someone as wonderful as him. He's the best!”

How is this effective if we’re just meeting online?
It’s true that things will feel different if we’re just seeing each other through a screen and I understand if this is a dealbreaker for you.

Multiple research studies also show that telehealth counseling can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many mental health concerns. Meeting online can make it a lot easier to fit into your life which may mean you'll be able to more consistently keep your sessions.

I’ve worked with a wide range of concerns and tailor the process to each individual. Therapy is a collaborative process focused on building awareness of your patterns and emotional responses, experimenting with new strategies and perspectives, and creating lasting change. In most sessions, you can expect to walk away with something tangible—whether that’s a new insight, a practical strategy, or a sense of relief. These small shifts help us confirm we’re moving in the right direction.
