Brainspotting Therapy for Anxiety, Trauma, and PTSD
You might be considering brainspotting therapy because something still feels “stuck,” even if you’ve talked about it before or understand it logically. Brainspotting is a trauma-informed approach that helps access and process deeper emotional and physical experiences stored in the brain and body, supporting relief from anxiety, trauma, and emotional overwhelm.
Who Brainspotting Therapy is For
Brainspotting therapy may be a good fit if you are:
Experiencing anxiety, trauma responses, or emotional overwhelm
Feeling stuck despite having insight or previous therapy experience
Noticing emotional reactions that feel bigger than the situation
Struggling with dissociation, numbness, or feeling disconnected from your body
Wanting a deeper, more experiential approach to healing
My Approach
In brainspotting therapy, we work with the understanding that trauma and emotional experiences are stored in both the brain and body. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates brainspotting, attachment-focused therapy, and parts work to help process these experiences at a deeper level, supporting emotional regulation and lasting change.
I integrate a range of evidence-based and experiential approaches, including:
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a trauma focused and somatic approach that helps identify and process deeper emotional and physical experiences stored in the brain and body. It can be especially helpful in accessing and healing deep rooted trauma and experiences that impact how you respond to the world around you.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a structured therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing or traumatic experiences so they feel less emotionally charged and more integrated over time.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment work explores how early relationships and experiences shape the way we connect with ourselves and others today. This helps us understand relationship patterns and emotional responses in a deeper way and allows access to early aspects of our lives that may need support in feeling secure in self and in our relationships.
Parts Work (IFS-informed)
Parts work helps us understand the different “parts” of ourselves that show up in different situations; including parts of us that may use shutting down, lashing out, over thinking, obsessing or worrying as ways to protect self. Instead of fighting these parts, we work to understand and support them.
DBT-Informed Skills
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills support emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and navigating intense emotions in a more grounded and effective way. These tools, including mindfulness can help you feel more stable in moments of overwhelm and support an overall sense of gratitude and peace.
Animal-Assisted Therapy
Animal-assisted therapy incorporates the calming presence of my emotional support pet into the therapeutic process, which can support grounding, emotional regulation, and feelings of safety in session.
