Brainspotting is a brain and body-based therapy utilized to immediately address issues that talk therapy can take years to heal. Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting functions as a neurobiological tool to support the clinical healing relationship. In a nutshell, we utilize particular eye positions to target the somatic symptoms (i.e., dizziness, targeted pain, chest tightness that presents with anxiety, feelings of doom, etc.) that are presenting to reduce distress and heal the body from within. Our bodies want to heal! Brainspotting, along with the attunement of a knowledgeable and present therapist, allows us to rely on our body’s innate wisdom to heal itself.

Brainspotting works with the deep brain, in conjunction with the body, through its direct access to the autonomic and limbic systems within the body’s central nervous system. Because of this, there is possibility to not only address healing, but for expansion as well. Many athletes seek Brainspotting to significantly enhance sports performance by addressing the psychological barriers that hinder an athlete’s potential. By releasing embedded patterns that may limit or block, Brainspotting allows athletes to experience greater ease, confidence, and resilience under pressure.

With me, you can expect a combination of talk therapy, psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral therapy, and Brainspotting to achieve the results you desire. YOU are the leader, and if you come to sessions interested in growth and healing, it is possible.
