Welcome!  DBR has changed the way I am present in the world, allowing me to be more of who I am and more fully present to myself and those around me.  I am excited to offer opportunities to help you on your journey...

Deep Brain Reorienting Consultation

In the spring of 2025, Dr. Corrigan asked me to start group consultations to help DBR clinicians continue their learning and hone their skill set. Individual and groups consultations are available.  In February of 2026, I was accredited by DBR Ltd. as an Approved Deep Brain Reorienting Consultant (DBR-C).

Why work with me? 

I will never forget the thrill of stumbling upon DBR, which actually heals attachment wounds.  And I remember the overwhelm of completing L2 and L3 and wondering how the heck to put DBR into practice.  I was very fortunate to engage in regular consultation almost immediately with Dr. Christie-Sands & Cindy Shrigley.

​

My DBR Consultation

​I have worked with the following consultants: 

  • Dr. Frank Corrigan

  • Dr. Jessica Christie-Sands

  • Cindy Shrigley

  • Jan Cassidy

  • Fern Banner

  • Sarah Jenkins

I am currently in ongoing groups with Dr. Corrigan and meet with him individually.  Additionally, I am the developer of DBR with Sudden Sound (DBR S2) - a project I worked on with Frank, Claire Vernon & Laura McMurry.  Refer to my 'Upcoming Trainings' page for more information.​

​DBR Training Assistant

​​I’ve have assisted in 12+ DBR trainings, including the role of Lead Assistant.  The two in-person trainings I assisted were incredible experiences – I look forward to leading the assistants at the level 3 training in Dundee, Scotland in May.

 

I’d be honored to help you continue to solidify your knowledge and move with confidence as you offer DBR to your clients, knowing that you are fully grounded in your knowledge and skills.

Small Shifts. Profound Change.

You're wondering about the unusual logo. Good point! How does a math geek and statistician end up as a therapist, anyway?...well...during the messy time of my transition from my first life to my second one, I thought about a tattoo. I wanted to be deliberate on my new path, and also, I was a statistics geek back in the day. So I chose a lower case delta, to remind me to take small, deliberate steps.Once I started working with transformational therapies, I began to see: less is more, slow is fast. It matched up perfectly with the tattoo! After years of studying and using other types of therapy, I have finally come home to DBR.  The shifts I have witnessed and been a part of - such profound changes in the way people are present in the world. Myself included. And so, our logo was born...a combo of upper and lowercase deltas. Small shifts...profound change.
