Brainspotting

Some experiences live deeper than words can reach. Brainspotting (BSP) is a gentle yet powerful approach that works directly with the brain and nervous system to help process trauma, emotional pain, and distress that talk therapy alone may not fully access.

Developed by Dr. David Grand in 2003, Brainspotting is built on a simple but profound observation: where we look affects how we feel. Using specific eye positions — called brainspots — we can locate where unprocessed experiences are held in the body and nervous system, and gently support the brain's own natural capacity to heal.

​

This isn't a technique that bypasses connection — it deepens it. The therapeutic relationship remains at the center of the work, creating the safety and attunement that allows deeper processing to unfold.

​

Brainspotting can be helpful for:

• Trauma and PTSD

• Anxiety, panic, or phobias

• Somatic and health-related trauma

• Chronic pain and fatigue

• Grief and unresolved loss

• Chronic stress

• Performance and creative blocks

 

Many clients find it surprisingly gentle — even when working with painful material — and often describe feeling a sense of release or clarity that felt out of reach before. They also share that it has helped them grow in their capacity to be with their feelings.

​

In our work together, I offer Brainspotting as part of an integrative approach, woven alongside other somatic and relational tools to support your healing at whatever pace feels right for you.
