Brainspotting

Accessing the brain’s deepest healing pathways

There are moments when talk therapy just doesn’t feel like enough.

You might have insight into your struggles, yet still feel stuck.

You might understand why you react the way you do—but still feel powerless to change it.

This is where Brainspotting can help.

Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic approach that works by identifying, processing, and releasing trauma stored in the body and brain—especially the parts that are beyond words.

You don’t need to fully remember or recount a traumatic event for Brainspotting to work.

You don’t need to “figure it all out.”

You just need to be open to a deeper kind of healing—one that works with your nervous system, not against it.

Here’s what people who come to Brainspotting often say:

“I’ve talked about this in therapy before, but it still feels like it’s stuck in my body.”

“I get triggered and can’t stop the spiral, even though I know it’s irrational.”

“My anxiety feels physical—like it lives in my chest, or throat, or stomach.”

“I want to move on from the past, but I feel frozen, like something is holding me back.”

Brainspotting can help with:

Trauma and PTSD (recent or long-past)

Chronic anxiety or panic

Emotional shutdown or dissociation

Performance anxiety (in sports, work, or creative fields)

Chronic pain or tension rooted in emotional experience

Overwhelming grief, fear, or shame

Sometimes, these symptoms don’t fully respond to traditional therapy—because they’re stored in deeper, subcortical parts of the brain.

Brainspotting works directly with these areas, using your field of vision to locate and process where the emotion is held.

Here’s how it works:

Together, we find a “brainspot”—a specific eye position linked to a stored emotional or physical experience.

Then, we allow the brain and body to process, release, and heal at their own pace—without needing to analyze, talk through, or intellectualize it.

It’s gentle. It’s focused. And for many, it’s deeply transformative.

Clients often report a sense of release or lightness after sessions

Fewer triggers and reactivity

A deeper connection with their body and emotions

Relief from symptoms they’ve carried for years

More freedom to respond rather than react

Brainspotting can be integrated into ongoing therapy or done in focused sessions, depending on your needs.

I’m trained in Brainspotting because I believe healing shouldn’t stay trapped in the mind.

Some wounds live in the body—and they need a path to move, release, and resolve.

If you’ve tried other therapies and still feel stuck…

If you carry pain you can’t explain…

Or if you’re simply curious about what lies beneath the surface—

Let’s explore it together.
