“Brainspotting taps into the body's natural ability to heal, using the eyes as a guide to unresolved trauma stored deep in the brain.”

Brainspotting was originally discovered by an EMDR therapist working with a professional athlete to overcome a performance block. Since then, it's been used not only to process trauma, but also to enhance sports performance, resolve phobias, break through creative blocks, manage chronic pain, and even shift limiting beliefs related to finances ("money blocks"). This versatile approach supports profound and lasting change across many areas of life.

Weird but true—where you look affects how you feel. Specific eye positions (your brainspots) link directly to neural pathways connected to emotions, memories, and even physical sensations.

Brainspotting also mirrors what naturally happens during REM sleep—the phase when your brain sorts, processes, and integrates experiences. Only this time, you’re awake, fully in control, and we’re guiding the process intentionally.

• Finding Your Spot: I’ll guide you to focus your eyes in a direction that feels connected to what you’re working on.
• You’re In Charge: You can talk, sit quietly, or share as much (or as little) as you want. It’s your process.
• After Effects: Many clients notice emotional shifts, physical releases, or fresh insights during and between sessions. It’s all part of your brain doing its thing.

With a strong background in trauma therapy and specialized training in Brainspotting, I incorporate this tool as part of a personalized, flexible approach. You don’t have to know ahead of time whether Brainspotting is the right fit—we’ll explore that together. Whether we use Brainspotting, EMDR, or another method, I’ll help guide you toward the approach that feels most effective and supportive for your goals.
