Brainspotting is a focused, brain-body therapy that helps process trauma, stress, and emotionally charged experiences at a deeper neurological level.
It’s based on the idea that “where you look affects how you feel.” Specific eye positions called brainspots, connect to areas of the brain where trauma and distress can become stored.
Rather than talking about the trauma over and over, Brainspotting helps your nervous system process it in a more direct and often gentler way.

Brainspotting can be done effectively via secure telehealth sessions.
If you’re looking for trauma therapy that works with both your brain and body , Brainspotting may be a powerful option.
How It Helps
Sometimes stressful or traumatic experiences get “stuck” in the body and nervous system.
Brainspotting helps your brain finish processing what didn’t get fully processed at the time.
We find a specific eye position that connects to what you’re feeling. As you gently focus there, your brain does the work it naturally knows how to do — release, reorganize, and settle.
You don’t have to force anything.
You don’t have to explain everything.
We move at your pace.

A typical session may include:
