BRAINSPOTTING
Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting is a simultaneous form of diagnosis and treatment, enhanced with Biolateral sound, which is deep, direct, and powerful yet focused and containing.

As a Brainspotting trained practitioner I will assist you in healing and processing.
Here’s How.
What is Brainspotting?
BSP makes use of the natural
phenomenon of where you look
affects how you feel through its use
of relevant eye positions. Together
the therapist and client pair a fixed
eye position and body sensation to
an unresolved issue. This rapid,
highly effective mind/body centered
therapy technique appears to go
beyond the cognitive awareness and
connects one to their body’s innate
wisdom to heal itself.
What can Brainspotting treat?
- Physical and emotional trauma
- Anxiety, phobias, OCD
- Depression, PTSD
- Recovery from injury and accident
- Trauma resulting from medical interventions and treatment

How will it help me?
Brainspotting is a therapeutic tool
for everyone with a variety of
issues. If you are new to therapy
and are looking for a way to
change patterns of behavior,
Brainspotting can help resolve the
emotional and physical pain that
keeps you stuck in those patterns.
If you have been in therapy
before, but have the sense that
your work could go deeper,
Brainspotting can take therapy to
another level of healing. If you are
uncomfortable with talking about
your past traumatic experiences,
this modality will enable you to
heal without having to tell or retell
your story. Lastly, Brainspotting
can be used to enhance
performance, creativity, and
create regulation in your brain and
body.
