When words aren’t enough, Brainspotting helps your body release what it’s been holding. Gentle, powerful, and often more effective than EMDR — especially for sensitive, overwhelmed, or neurodivergent nervous systems.

Brainspotting

When talk therapy hasn’t been enough — Brainspotting can help access what words alone can’t reach.

Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-body-based therapy that helps uncover and release trauma, anxiety, and emotional blocks that may be held deep in the nervous system. It allows us to go beyond insight, gently accessing the root of what’s been stuck — even when you don’t know exactly what that is.

Developed by Dr. David Grand, Brainspotting is based on the idea that “where you look affects how you feel.” By finding a specific eye position that connects with a relevant spot in the brain, we can bring buried experiences into awareness, supporting the body in releasing them in a way that is both profound and often surprisingly gentle.

How it works


In a Brainspotting session, we follow the cues of your body and nervous system — not a script.

Using a combination of focused attention, somatic attunement, and mindful presence, we locate a “brainspot” connected to the issue we’re working on. This may be something you’re consciously aware of (like anxiety, overwhelm, or a traumatic memory), or something more vague (a feeling of being stuck, disconnected, or on edge for no clear reason).

As we stay with that spot and remain curious together, your nervous system begins to process in the background. There’s no need to re-tell or re-live traumatic events. Your body knows what to do when it feels safe enough to begin.

What Brainspotting can support

Brainspotting can be especially helpful for:
     •     Complex trauma and developmental trauma
     •     Anxiety, panic, or chronic dysregulation
     •     Burnout or compassion fatigue
     •     Grief and loss
     •     Physical symptoms with an emotional component (e.g., pain, tension, migraines)
     •     Feeling stuck despite years of other therapy
     •     Creative blocks or performance anxiety
     •     Dissociation or a sense of being disconnected from your body or emotions

Gentle, attuned support — customized to you

I often integrate Brainspotting with other somatic approaches like Somatic Experiencing, SSP, and RRP, depending on your unique needs and nervous system. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach — we’ll follow your body’s wisdom and move at a pace that feels right.

Sessions are online, but don’t let that fool you — this work is deeply attuned and connected.

You don’t have to go it alone. I’ll be right there with you.
