Are there places in your life, relationships, body, or behavior that feel stuck?

Brainspotting is a therapy approach that uses eye position to help you access and process trauma and difficult experiences stored in the brain and body. Traditional talk therapy focuses on the mind; Brainspotting reaches what’s held in the nervous system. I guide you through this process, letting your system move at its own pace.

Gently Process Deep Seated Pain & Fear

Start Where You Are

You don’t need to know exactly what is “wrong”. Brainspotting can help access the root causes of any issue you bring in.

Flexible and Creative

It can be used alongside other therapeutic modalities, and is deeply integrative and adaptable to your individual needs, rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Below the Level of Words

Brainspotting is ideal when traditional talk therapy has reached its limits, because it accesses experiences stored below conscious awareness.

Brainspotting can be incorporated into both Individual and Couples Therapy
