Brainspotting Therapy

Your body has been carrying the weight of this for far too long —

You and your nervous system deserve a break from the heavy emotions, on edge feeling, hypervigilence, or numbness that take over your life.

Our eyes are constantly taking in information and our brain is processing, organizing, and making sense of our experiences. However, unlike everyday experiences, distressing experiences disrupt this normal process making it difficult for our brain to fully process and make sense of that experience.

When our brain is unable to process traumatic experiences, they often remain fragmented and stored in deeper areas of the brain. Brainspotting Therapy allows us to access these deeper areas of the brain using specific eye positions allowing unresolved trauma to come to the surface and be fully processed in a safe space.

These experiences cause our body to become hyperactive and dysregulated. Our nervous system is still in protection mode. This can present in our everyday life as muscle tension, gut issues, anxiety, sleep problems, and more.

What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based modality founded by David Grand, PhD, that allows us to access, process, and release any emotional and somatic distress we may be experiencing.

Brainspotting is particularly effective for processing trauma and other deep emotional experiences. It can help with a range of issues, including:

  • Trauma

  • Anxiety and Stress

  • Depression

  • Chronic Pain

  • Grief and Loss

  • Self-Esteem and Emotional Blocks

  • Performance and Creativity

In a typical Brainspotting session, you’ll be asked to focus on a specific emotion, memory, or physical sensation that you want to address. I’ll then guide you to identify an eye position—known as a “brainspot”—that correlates with that experience. While you hold your gaze on the spot, we’ll allow the brain to process the emotions and sensations that arise, helping you work through them at your own pace.

The experience can vary from session to session. Some clients may feel an immediate release of tension or emotion, while others may experience subtle shifts over time. Each person’s experience with Brainspotting is unique, but the process can lead to profound healing and lasting change.

Healing is Possible

If you feel like traditional therapy isn’t fully helping you heal or that you’re stuck in certain emotional patterns, Brainspotting can be a powerful way to move forward.
