Brainspotting

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 trained in Brainspotting! Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that targets trauma and emotional issues by identifying and processing brainspots, eye positions correlating with neural activation linked to emotional experiences. It involves focused mindfulness and therapist's guidance to access and release deep-seated emotions, facilitating healing and resolution.

"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.

Brainspotting is a somatic approach to healing from trauma. It is based on the same principles as EMDR and incorporates ideas from somatic experiencing. The goal of this process is to access the subcortical parts of your brain, which are connected to functions of memory, emotion, and pleasure. By tapping into these parts within an attuned relationship, we create space for your mind and body to process traumatic experiences and other blocks. We move at your pace and comfort level.

Brainspotting is a cutting-edge therapy method for emotional distress and trauma. By identifying visual cues called "brainspots," we address deep-seated pain and tough memories without needing to talk much. This approach accesses pathways in your brain that traditional therapy might miss, helping release stuck emotional distress and pain.

My expertise in Brainspotting comes from extensive training and a deep understanding of its principles, focusing on the mind-body connection to address trauma. This approach allows me to help clients access and process unresolved issues, facilitating profound healing. By utilizing Brainspotting, I guide individuals through their healing journey, addressing emotional and psychological challenges at their core, promoting resilience, and fostering a powerful path to recovery and wellness.

This is a rapid, effective trauma therapy that gets to the root of the issue, helps you find your own wisdom and ultimately shows you that you can approach the thing you fear and come out the other side. This approach has not only transformed my practice, but the lives of those who try it. It may seem odd, but if you're up for something a little different than talk-therapy, you will see what hope and freedom and look like.

When we experience trauma, which is a more common and ordinary experience than we realize, our brains are unable to process the traumatic material. Through neurobiological research, we know that in a trauma state, the brain stores trauma in the midbrain, which makes it difficult to heal and process traumatic material through talk therapy alone. I offer brainspotting to help put the brain into a position where it can heal itself of the traumatic symptoms.

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.

The two modes of Brainspotting are activation and resource. Our emotions and feelings give language to our experiences and what’s going on. The Allocortex is the part of the brain that gives us access to our emotions and helps with regulation, it has access to parts of the brain that help with emotions and it is a covering of the limbic system. That's the part we tap into to heal trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, etc.

My field experience combined with my mental health background allows me to provide culturally competent care. I want you to feel heard by someone who understands! Whether you are interested in medications or not, I am looking forward to connecting with you and partnering with YOU to help YOU achieve satisfaction and success in life, while ultimately feeling empowered in YOUR own wellness journey.

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 profound healing on a neurobiological level.

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 and certified in Brainspotting. Brainspotting aims to access and process trauma and other experiences, including creative blocks, physical and emotional pain, dystonias, the "yips", spirituality and so, so much more. It combines elements of traditional talk therapy, the use of mindful processing, somatic experiences of the issue or feeling, and eye positions or multiple eye positions. It is both brain and body based and allows for deep processing.

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.

Where you looks affects how you feel. BSP makes use of this natural phenomenon through its use of relevant eye positions. This helps the BSP therapist locate, focus, process and release a wide range of emotionally and bodily-based conditions. BSP is also a brain-based tool to support the therapy relationship. We believe that BSP taps into and harnesses the body’s natural self-scanning, self-healing ability.

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

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.
