Brain Spotting
Healing Begins Where Words End
Sometimes we understand exactly why we feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck—and yet nothing seems to change. That's because trauma and emotional experiences are not stored only in our thoughts. They are also held within the brain, nervous system, and body.
Brain Spotting may be a good fit if you:
- Feel like you've reached a plateau with traditional talk therapy.
- Carry unresolved trauma or grief.
- Want to reduce anxiety and emotional reactivity.
- Are navigating life after cancer or another serious illness.
- Live with chronic pain or stress-related symptoms.
- Want to reconnect with yourself after a significant life transition.
Brain Spotting
Healing Beyond Survival™
Brain Spotting is a powerful, brain-based therapeutic approach that helps access and process the deeper parts of the brain where trauma, emotional pain, and survival responses are stored. By identifying specific eye positions connected to these experiences, Brainspotting allows the brain and body to process what has been difficult to resolve through talk therapy alone.
The goal isn't to relive trauma. It's to help your nervous system complete the healing process so you can move forward with greater resilience, clarity, and freedom.
A Different Approach to Healing
As both a naturopathic physician and a Stage IV cancer survivor, I understand healing from both sides of the exam room.
My own journey taught me that true healing involves much more than treating symptoms. It requires creating safety within the nervous system, reconnecting with the body, and making sense of experiences that have fundamentally changed our lives.
Brain Spotting has become one of the most transformative tools I use because it honors the wisdom of the brain and body while allowing healing to unfold at a pace that feels safe and deeply personal.
Brain Spotting May Help With
- Medical trauma and cancer survivorship
- PTSD and Complex PTSD
- Anxiety and panic
- Chronic stress and burnout
- Grief and loss
- Chronic pain
- Relationship trauma
- Depression
- Life transitions
- Performance anxiety and creative blocks
- Feelings of being "stuck"
- Building resilience and emotional regulation
Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event or years of accumulated stress, Brain Spotting can help your nervous system process experiences that may still be affecting your daily life.
What Happens During a Session?
Every Brain Spotting session is individualized.
We begin by exploring what brings you to therapy and identifying your goals. Together, we create a safe, supportive environment where you remain in control throughout the process.
Using your body's responses as our guide, we identify an eye position—or "brainspot"—that connects to the issue you're working on. Rather than forcing insight or analysis, we allow your brain and nervous system to do what they are naturally designed to do: process, reorganize, and heal.
Many people describe sessions as deeply calming, emotionally freeing, or surprisingly clarifying. Others notice gradual changes over time, including feeling less reactive, more grounded, and more connected to themselves.
Healing the Whole Person
My approach integrates Brain Spotting with trauma-informed naturopathic medicine, nervous system regulation, breathing techniques and lifestyle medicine.
Healing is rarely just physical or emotional—it touches every aspect of who we are. My goal is to help you move beyond survival and reconnect with the life you want to live.
If you're wondering whether Brain Spotting is right for you, I invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation. Together we can discuss your goals and determine whether this approach aligns with your healing journey.
You don't have to navigate healing alone. Together, we can create a path toward greater resilience, connection, and hope.
