Brainspotting

I am a Certified Brainspotting Therapist. Brainspotting is a brain-based, highly effective tool for processing and relieving trauma and other persistent negative emotional states. I have specialized training in Brainspotting for developmental trauma, which includes a structured, yet flexible, set of exercises to facilitate focused treatment.

Brainspotting is a powerful way to heal from emotional pain and trauma. Imagine your brain has a few spots where difficult memories or feelings get stuck. In brainspotting, I will helps you find these "brainspots" by guiding your eye movements. Once a spot is found, your brain can begin to process and release the trapped emotions or stress. It’s like unlocking a door to let those old, heavy feelings out, helping you feel lighter, more at peace, and better able to move forward in your life.

Brainspotting Therapy is a technique founded by Dr. David Grand that uses eye positions to heal trauma and improve well-being. It can help with issues like PTSD, phobias, addiction, and anxiety, offering deep healing and lasting change. It is effective in treating various psychological issues and is recognized as a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation.

The brain and body's natural healing abilities can be accessed through Brainspotting, a focused treatment that facilitates profound healing and growth.

I am trained to utilize Brainspotting and use this to address past trauma, OCD symptoms, and eating disorders.

This mind-body approach to healing trauma is a wonderful tool for enhancing your goals in therapy. I have added this way of working since 2021, completing 72 hours of training in that time. I have been humbled by how it can open up the healing potential that lies in each of us.

Brainspotting allows us access to neural pathways leading to the midbrain that talk therapy cannot. If you have issues or concerns that you are not yet comfortable talking about or don't feel like you can find the right words, this modality may be for you.

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.

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.

Brainspotting is a psychotherapy modality that works with the brain and body (somatic) to help you heal and recover from negative and traumatic experiences as well as bring clarity to emotional confusion and ambivalence regarding the issues in one’s life. Brainspotting engages in neurobiological and emotional processes that allows the person to access the deepest recesses of the emotional brain or limbic system where unprocessed trauma and negative experiences are stored and allows for healing.

Brainspotting (BSP) is a powerful, focused method for treating trauma and other unresolved psychological issues. This unique approach helps you release the psychological blocks that keep you from being your most connected, creative, actualized self. Brainspotting offers deep neurological healing that talk therapy alone often cannot access. This technique gives us a way to access the subcortical brain, the place where emotional and somatic experiences are kept.

Brainspotting is a body-based modality for healing trauma and regulating the nervous system. Brainspotting locates points in a client’s visual field that help access unprocessed trauma in the subcortical brain. The subcortical brain is the most primitive part of the brain and what lights up on a brain scan when the body detects a threat and goes into a stress response of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Brainspotting helps you experience prfound healing on a neurobiological level.

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.

"Where you look affects how you feel." Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that targets trauma and distress by focusing on eye positions that activate specific areas of the brain. It accesses the body's natural ability to heal by facilitating the processing and release of traumatic experiences stored in the subconscious, leading to profound emotional healing and resolution.

I am trained to apply Brainspotting to a variety of emotional difficulties including shame, anger, traumatic memories, experiences of rejection and abandonment, anxiety, fear as well as performance issues.

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

I began training and certification in Brainspotting in 2020. This modality is in the same family as EMDR, using bilateral stimulation and eye positioning to help reduce activation in our brains and bodies related to specific events or sensations. Brainspotting can also be used to enhance performance for artists and athletes.
