Brainspotting
Tired of talking? Brainspotting targets trauma at the source, so you can release your symptoms for good.
Brainspotting (BSP) is a transformational tool that helps us access the emotional and body-based parts of our brain that are responsible for setting off our internal alarm system. When our alarm system has been impacted by trauma, it keeps us chronically on high alert or pushes us into shut-down mode.
When our brain and body are in survival mode, it can feel impossible to enjoy our lives in a present, meaningful way.
Find your center with Brainspotting.
Using an eye position that connects with the feeling or event you are processing, Brainspotting can assist in bypassing your conscious thinking and help you tap into the subcortical parts of your brain to release trauma stored in your system.
You have the innate ability to make connections that bring life-altering clarity, heal, and transform your life.
Brainspotting (BSP) has been shown to be supportive for a range of emotional and psychological issues, most specifically trauma (chronic, complex, or single events). This intervention not only provides rapid, lasting symptom relief, but also offers an empowering approach to healing that helps build a sense of trust in yourself, your intuition, and your body.

For clients who are ready to take their healing to the next level and achieve symptom relief over time. These sessions are ideal for clients who are looking to supplement talk therapy services or other healing modalities. Sessions include 5 -10 minutes of intake and 50 minutes of Brainspotting.

Brainspotting (BSP) is a model for deep and lasting change based on the discovery by Dr. David Grand that “where you look affects how you feel.” This intervention allows us access to the subconscious emotional and body-based parts of our brain that are connected to our “fight, flight, freeze” responses. We store trauma on this subconscious level, which means that our internal alarm system goes off and we experience a stress response (anxiety, panic, rage, shut down, etc.) anytime our brain picks up a signal that reminds us of a painful or traumatic event. Most often, these signals are false alarms long after the original stressor took place. BSP helps us to target and reorganize our internal alarm system, so that we no longer find ourselves experiencing stress responses when faced with false alarms. Ultimately, leading to an improvement in overall emotional and psychological wellbeing.

Brainspotting can often provide rapid relief, so some individuals see improvement after a few sessions. Most often, I find committing to 10-12 sessions is most supportive for significant, lasting results.
-
No. While I do use Brainspotting in my clinical practice, you do not need to be a therapy client nor do you need to be a Maine resident. I provide Brainspotting as an offering outside the scope of my clinical practice in order to provide support for anyone seeking the benefits of BSP.

Yes, Brainspotting is equally as effective via telehealth as it is in person.

I do not take insurance.
