Brainspotting
Processing, Connection, and Healing
When talk therapy alone doesn’t feel like enough, Brainspotting offers a powerful way to access the deeper parts of your brain and body that store trauma, stress, and emotional pain. Maybe you feel like you’ve tried it all- IFS, CBT, DBT, talk therapy- but there is still a sense within you that there is more to reach.
As a Certified Brainspotting Therapist I offer Brainspotting therapy as a part of my therapeutic approach to healing. This brain-body-based technique helps you process unresolved trauma, reduce anxiety, and release what’s keeping you stuck .
What is Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a neurobiological therapy that helps identify and release sources of emotional and physical distress by accessing deep areas of the brain through eye positioning. By holding a specific "brainspot" in your field of vision, your brain and body begin to process unhealed trauma and stress — often beyond what words can reach.
This gentle, client-led approach allows healing to unfold at your own pace, bypassing the analytical mind and working directly with the nervous system to promote integration and relief.
How Brainspotting Helps
Brainspotting can be especially effective for:
Trauma and PTSD
Anxiety and panic
Depression and emotional numbness
Chronic stress and burnout
Medical or birth trauma
Somatic symptoms (e.g., headaches, muscle tension, fatigue)
Creative or performance blocks
Chronic Pain
Attachment wounds and early relational trauma
Emotional overwhelm or “stuckness” in traditional talk therapy
Many clients describe Brainspotting sessions as deeply calming, clarifying, and transformative — even when they’ve tried other forms of therapy without success.
My Approach as a Certified Brainspotting Therapist
As a Certified Brainspotting Clinician, I integrate Brainspotting into my trauma-informed therapy work with adults in a way that is gentle, grounded, and customized to your unique nervous system. I also combine this somatic modality with relational and psychodynamic therapy, offering a comprehensive healing experience that honors both mind and body.
You are always in control of the process. Whether you're new to therapy or an experienced client looking for deeper healing, Brainspotting can help unlock growth and relief in ways that talk therapy alone may not access.
What to Expect in a Brainspotting Session
Brainspotting sessions may feel different from traditional therapy. After we establish safety and connection, I’ll guide you in identifying a “brainspot” — a specific eye position that connects to the emotional or somatic experience you want to work on.
From there, we allow your brain and body to do the work. You might experience emotions, memories, body sensations, or simply a deep sense of calm. There is no need to talk through every detail — your brain knows how to heal when given the right space.
