Brainspotting

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.

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.

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 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.

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. Here are links to videos "Who does Brainspotting work with?” https://vimeo.com/187492731 "Brainspotting" https://youtu.be/lm3Plvaf3

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.

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.

I recently became a Brainspotting Practitioner and it is probably suffice to say I am so excited about this approach. It is beyond fascinating and I love seeing what it does with and for my clients. I cannot wait to continue on in my brainspotting learning!

In a brainspotting session, a trained therapist guides the client's attention to identify brainspots linked to distress or trauma. These brainspots are typically found through eye positions that correspond to emotional and somatic activation. The therapist helps the client maintain focus on the brainspot, exploring associated thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations.

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

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.

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.

Brainspotting is one of two neurobased modalities that I augment into talk therapy to reduce anxiety and eliminate trauma responses. Brainspotting helps to reduce physical pain, memories become less painful, negative thought patterns are reduced, improves sleep and increases energy. Safe and Sound Protocol is a sound therapy that reduces anxiety and increases social engagement. Especially helpful to adults with anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, ADD, social anxiety/phobias.

Brainspotting is a powerful tool that can help individuals move through trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, limiting beliefs and patterns, and so much more. Through brainspotting I help you identify, process, and release emotional experiences that are keeping you stuck. We can use brainspotting in addition to other therapies, or it can be used on it's own. Feel free to reach out to learn more about what a brainspotting session with me can look like!

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.

The brain and body's natural healing abilities can be accessed through Brainspotting, a focused treatment that facilitates profound healing and growth. Within the safety of the present moment, emotional pain can be reprocessed and released, guided by a certified Brainspotting therapist committed to creating a secure space for transformation.

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.

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

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.
