Brainspotting

I am trained in brainspotting to help clients process and release emotions that are stuck. I also utilize somatic therapy to help client identify a new sense of self.

My field experience combined with my mental health background allows me to provide culturally competent care. I want you to feel heard by someone who understands! Whether you are interested in medications or not, I am looking forward to connecting with you and partnering with YOU to help YOU achieve satisfaction and success in life, while ultimately feeling empowered in YOUR own wellness journey.

Brainspotting is life-changing. Whether focusing on a feeling or an overall traumatic event, brainspotting helps process what our brain is storing and promotes coherence between sympathetic and parasympathetic activation. Trauma can take up a lot of emotional space and it has a way of affecting so many future choices, activities, and relationships. Let's work together to create more space in your life and process the trauma.

At this point, I’m mostly only working with new clients who are open to it as a part of our work together because doing therapy without Brainspotting feels a little like doing therapy with my arms tied behind my back. I just can’t help people make the movement we both want them to make with traditional talk therapy. For more information on Brainspotting visit Brainspotting.com or my website.

I have Levels 1 & 2 training to help with somatic movement of stored trauma in the body.

I am a Certified Brainspotting Practitioner and have experienced deep processing and healing in receiving Brainspotting.

I utilize a trauma intervention called brainspotting which allows me to help you release distressing emotions using the position of your eyes. You do not have to talk in order for this intervention to be effective in releasing trauma.

Brainspotting (BSP) is a powerful psychotherapy technique that helps people process trauma and emotional pain. By focusing on specific points in a person's visual field, we trigger emotional responses, and through maintaining this focus, clients can access and release deep-seated emotions and memories stored in the mid-brain. Through tapping into the brain's ability to heal itself, BSP reduces symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health issues, promoting healing and emotional well-being.

Brainspotting feels like one of the most trauma-informed and client led therapy modalities that I have learned thus far. I am excited to offer this type of therapy that makes space for the body's innate ability to heal in order to help process trauma and work through various blocks, whether they be creative or physical.

Brainspotting is a unique, focused treatment that I use to help clients access and process deeply stored trauma. By identifying specific "brainspots" linked to emotional pain, this approach taps into the brain's natural healing abilities. Brainspotting is particularly effective for clients who feel stuck in their trauma or those who need to process difficult memories without having to verbalize them extensively, allowing for deeper emotional release and healing.

I have completed Phase 1 and 2 of Brainspotting training and use this within session as clients desire. This approach focuses on the connection between the body and brain and strives to quickly reduce activation and increase emotional regulation. This approach is helpful for reducing symptoms related to trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and chronic pain and chronic fatigue.

Brainspotting is mind/body approach that can help you connect deeply with the root of where issues are stored in your brain, body and nervous system. It helps you clear issues, ranging from difficult trauma to everyday challenges. It is also very helpful in building positives, such as confidence, relaxation optimal performance, etc.

Brainspotting is often used to reprocess traumatic memories, but it is beneficial for a wide range of issues and can be faster at targeting stuck memories than talk therapy alone.

I am trained in Brainspotting Level 1 and use this often in my practice. I have utilized this modality to help reduce intrusive thoughts, decrease symptoms related to OCD/anxiety, have less of an emotional response when thinking of painful memories, and doing trauma processing when traditional talk therapy has been ineffective.

Brainspotting was added to my practice in 2023. I'm trained in level 1 and 2, and nearly certified. While I am admittedly biased, countless times I've witnessed profound and lasting results with this bottom up trauma informed model to deeply and rapidly heal trauma, grief, and complex relational issues. Our eyes are connected to our subcortical brain where trauma is held, as well as our reptilian brain where we go under distress. Go to Brainspotting.com for more information.

There’s so much I love about Brainspotting; it compliments attachment theory and parts" work while allowing clients to dig deep in a way that isn’t possible with talk therapy alone. It's a way to clear through all the “stuff" in a completely different way so you can actually move forward with your life. I started training in November 2020 and became a Certified Brainspotter in January 2022.

I am trained in Brainspotting (Phases 1 and 2) and use it to promote deeper processing in clients. Brainspotting, which evolved out of EMDR, is built on the theory that where we look affects how we feel. It involves a client identifying a spot where, as they gaze, they experience heightened activation. This promotes processing in the sub-cortical (emotional) part of the brain. My training was experiential, meaning that I experienced this modality as a client as well as a practitioner.

I am intensively trained in brain spotting, which is used in conjunction with other treatments to treat PTSD

Brainspotting is a treatment method that utilizes your visual field to connect with the parts of your brain that hold onto unprocessed trauma. Brainspotting invites clients to process distressing experiences by following the lead of their body.
