SERVICES

By specializing in this age range, I am able to connect and understand my clients on a deeper level, ultimately allowing for better assistance.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR CIENTS SAY?

“I initially found Jodie through a Gottman Method search. My husband and I were in a tough place and needed some help. Jodie was so wonderful in helping us get past a rough spot. She listens but also gives tools to help conflict- tangible practices that help us daily. She also provided me with individual therapy which helped ease some deep trauma that I had been holding onto for quite some time. I had therapy elsewhere before, but Jodie really made a difference in a way I hadn't experienced previously. My husband was quite a skeptic of therapy before meeting Jodie, but now speaks fondly of her practice and all it has done for us individually and as a couple”
“When I started The Safe and Sound Protocol, it seemed like it was going to be time consuming and tedious, which was the very last thing I needed. To my surprise it was exactly what I needed. I struggle with good rest/sleep right now dealing with loss, sadness, anxiety, frustration etc. I listened to it as I headed to bed. I found that I was much more relaxed and sleeping better and longer. Now, when I wake with things on my mind, I grab my headphones and listen. 95% of the time I relax and drift back off to sleep. I use it five out of seven nights I am anti medication and this is such an exciting option.”
"I have been seeing Jodie for over a year now and I wanted to share my experience of working with her. I have had experiences with various counselors over the years but Jodie has been the first to introduce some tools that have been easy and really valuable to me. Brainspotting and The Safe and Sound Protocol have been excellent resources that have been helpful outside of the time I have spent one-on-one with Jodie. She’s an excellent listener and I am so grateful to have found her.”
"Couples Brainspotting with Jodie has provided us a platform for being able to share and listen like we hadn’t been able to prior. This has allowed us to get to the root issues quickly, and has helped us understand each others hearts more intimately."
"Brainspotting has helped us identified and change several destructive behavior patterns we learned from dysfunctional parents. When we Brainspot together, we often discover childhood traumas that intensify our emotional responses. After a few sessions, the original trauma loses much of its power. We now communicate in a healthy manner, as adults instead of wounded children and can discuss potentially explosive issues without aggression or defensiveness."
