Heal Trauma at the Root with Brainspotting Therapy
If you’ve tried traditional therapy but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—your body might be holding onto unresolved trauma. Brainspotting is a powerful somatic tool that helps you access and heal trauma where it lives: deep in the nervous system.
Brainspotting is a gentle, brain-body therapy developed to treat PTSD, anxiety, panic, and emotional overwhelm.
It works by identifying “brainspots”—specific eye positions linked to stored emotional or physical distress.
When we focus on these spots while staying present to body sensations, the brain can naturally process and release what’s been stuck.
​
Brainspotting allows you to go deeper than talk therapy alone—without having to retell or relive painful memories.
In my practice, I weave Brainspotting into a holistic, somatic, and relational approach to trauma healing.
Our work together may include:
-
Guided somatic awareness
-
Mindfulness and grounding practices
-
Emotional regulation and nervous system support
-
A compassionate, attuned therapeutic relationship
This process supports your whole self—mind, body, and spirit—as you move toward integration, stability, and inner peace.
Brainspotting may be a fit if you:
✔ Feel stuck after trying other types of therapy
✔ Experience anxiety, panic, or PTSD symptoms
✔ Want to feel safer and more connected in your body
✔ Are ready to move beyond coping and into true healing

Benefits of Brainspotting as a therapeutic alternative to EMDR
1. Accesses Deep, Non-Verbal Memory Storage
2. Bypasses Cognitive Defenses
3. Supports Nervous System Regulation and Emotional Integration
Brainspotting taps into the subcortical brain, where trauma is often stored beneath conscious awareness—especially trauma from early family experiences. This allows clients to access and process deeply rooted emotional patterns that talk therapy alone might not reach.
Because Brainspotting doesn't rely on storytelling or rational analysis, it helps bypass the mind's defense mechanisms (like denial or intellectualization). This is especially helpful with familial trauma, which can involve complex layers of loyalty, guilt, or shame. It enables the body and nervous system to release what’s been held for years.
Trauma, whether chronic or acute, often leads to persistent dysregulation—hypervigilance, anxiety, or shutdown. Brainspotting helps rewire the brain-body connection, promoting nervous system regulation, greater emotional resilience, and the ability to form healthier relational boundaries and patterns.
