What if you didn't have to figure it all out first?

Sometimes there are experiences, emotions, or patterns that are difficult to put into words.

You may know that something is affecting you without knowing exactly what it is. You may have a sense that there is more beneath the surface, but thinking about it, talking about it, or trying to understand it hasn't quite gotten you there.

Brainspotting offers a different way in.

What is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a focused, experiential therapy that uses specific eye positions to help access and process material held outside of your ordinary conscious awareness.

During a session, we may notice what you're experiencing as you bring attention to a particular issue, feeling, memory, or sensation. I then help you find an eye position—or “brainspot”—that seems connected to your experience.

From there, rather than directing you toward a particular conclusion, we slow down and follow what naturally emerges.

A thought.

A memory.

An image.

An emotion.

A sensation.

A realization you weren't expecting.

You don't have to make it happen.

We get curious and see where your mind takes you.

Following what emerges

One of the things that makes Brainspotting unique is that there isn't necessarily a story we need to tell or a specific memory we need to work through.

You might begin with something that feels relatively simple and find yourself making an unexpected connection.

You might notice a memory you hadn't thought about in years.

You might experience an emotion without immediately knowing where it came from.

You might suddenly understand something about yourself in a way that feels different from simply thinking about it.

Or you might not experience anything particularly dramatic at all.

There is no right way for a Brainspotting session to unfold.

Your experience leads the way.

When you feel like there's more beneath the surface

Brainspotting can be especially helpful when you're experiencing something that doesn't seem to respond to insight alone.

It may be supportive for:

• Trauma and difficult life experiences

• Anxiety and emotional overwhelm

• Grief and loss

• Attachment and relationship patterns

• Persistent emotional reactions

• Feeling stuck around a particular issue

• Performance or creative blocks

• Fears and phobias

• Shame or self-judgment

• Experiences that are difficult to put into words

• Recurring patterns you want to understand differently

Brainspotting can also be useful when you aren't entirely sure what you need to work on—you simply know that something doesn't feel resolved.

You don't have to direct the process.

Brainspotting isn't about me telling you what your experience means.

I'm not looking for the “right” memory or trying to interpret what comes up for you.

Instead, I'm there to help you notice, stay curious, and remain connected to your experience while your brain does what it naturally does.

This can create a very different therapeutic experience from constantly analyzing why you feel the way you feel.

Sometimes the most meaningful insights aren't the ones we consciously go looking for.

A collaborative and gentle process

You remain in control throughout Brainspotting.

You can talk as much or as little as feels right. You can pause, shift focus, or stop at any point. We don't have to force anything to happen.

My role is to provide a grounded, supportive space and help you stay connected to your experience while we follow what emerges.

Brainspotting can be used on its own or integrated with other approaches when that feels appropriate for your needs.

You don't have to know exactly where you're going.

Sometimes you just need enough space to notice what is already there.

If you're curious about Brainspotting and whether this kind of experiential work might be a good fit for you, we can explore it together.
