Brainspotting
If talk therapy has ever felt like it’s just scratching the surface Brainspotting offers another way.
Brainspotting is a trauma-informed, brain-body therapy that helps us process and release emotional experiences stored deep in the nervous system. It works by identifying a specific “brainspot”—a place in your visual field that’s linked to an emotional or physiological experience—and staying with it while gently noticing what comes up in your body, thoughts, and emotions. It sounds simple, but it’s often profoundly effective.
Where traditional therapy relies on conversation and insight, Brainspotting allows healing to happen without needing to explain everything. You don’t have to tell the whole story, relive painful memories, or even fully understand what’s happening in order to feel a shift.
What Happens in a Session?
We begin by checking in with what feels present. This could be a feeling in your body, an emotion, a memory, a sensation, or even something that’s hard to name. I’ll guide you in finding a “spot” in your visual field that connects to it, and we follow what comes up for you from there.
You might talk, stay quiet, feel waves of emotion, or physical sensations. You are always in control, and I move at your pace. Some people feel lighter right away; others notice shifts over time like less reactivity, more calm, deeper clarity, and a sense that something has finally moved.
Why I Use Brainspotting
Brainspotting is the foundation of my practice because it works.
It helps you respond instead of react: Brainspotting expands your window of tolerance, so you’re less likely to be overwhelmed and more able to choose how you show up in moments of stress or conflict.
It deepens capacity for secure attachment: By healing early attachment wounds, Brainspotting supports more attuned and responsive parenting. You become better able to co-regulate, stay present, and meet your child’s needs without losing yourself.
It creates more space for connection: When emotional triggers soften, there’s more room to truly connect—with yourself, your child, your partner, and others. Brainspotting helps clear what gets in the way of closeness.
It brings compassion into relationships: Brainspotting can reduce blame and increase empathy, even in challenging dynamics.
It interrupts generational cycles: You can process what you’ve inherited from your parents or caregivers with brainspotting, and can free you to parent in alignment with your values, not just your automatic learned responses.
It makes space for complexity: You can feel joy and grief at the same time. Love and frustration. Brainspotting doesn’t ask you to choose one or push something down, it allows all of it to be there and helps bridge the gap.
See what’s possible for you: Book a session to explore how Brainspotting can support the specific challenges you’re facing. Whether that’s anxiety, depression, guilt, exhaustion, old patterns showing up again, or simply wanting to feel more like yourself. It’s not one-size-fits-all; it’s therapy that meets you where you are.
