About

Maybe you’ve been searching for a while.

Perhaps someone you trust told you to come here. Or you came because you’re tired, of trying, of explaining, of waking up to the same tension in your chest that you can never think your way out of.

Whatever brought you here, sit with this for a moment.

You’ve been doing the work. The therapy. The reading. The understanding.

You can probably narrate exactly what happened, why you’re like this, what the pattern is.

And still, you can’t seem to move it.

Here’s why:

The story about what happened? It lies in your mind.
The actual wound? It’s somewhere else.

What’s keeping you stuck doesn’t live in the part of your brain that you think with.

The thinking brain is fast at building stories. It can name what happened. It can analyze the pattern. It can map the cause and the effect and the family system and the trauma response.

You can understand yourself perfectly and still not get free.

The wound itself, the part that won’t let you sleep, won’t let you trust, won’t let you rest – it lives somewhere else. In the subcortical brain, where the experience got imprinted before you had words for it. Your body has been sending you messages ever since because brain and body are one unit.

Through talking about it, you’ve been knocking on that door for years. But the door doesn’t open from there.

That’s why you’re still stuck.

You’re not doing this wrong. This is how you’re wired.

Where you look affects how you feel. That’s the principle David Grand built Brainspotting on.

Every day, without thinking, your eyes find comfortable and uncomfortable places to rest.

It works with the subcortical brain, the layer underneath the thinking brain, through a spot your eyes connect to.

During a Brainspotting session, you stay awake. I stay with you. Your body does what it’s been holding back from doing.

There’s no reliving the past trauma. No forcing anything. No shortcuts.

What’s been frozen in you finally gets to move through. The wound that’s been waiting for permission finally gets it, which allows it to complete.

Trauma moves. Unwanted behaviors loosen their grip. Childhood material settles into the past where it belongs.

All that stuckness, which is really the same wound speaking different languages, finally has somewhere to go.

The emotional wounds you carry don’t just show up in one part of you. They show up all over your life. In your body. In your patterns of feeling, thinking, and acting. In your relationships.

They’re visible in various parts of you: the inner critic, the part of you that protects, the inner child that’s still small and afraid.

Brainspotting is the container that holds the whole picture.

Inside it, I bring parts work, attachment, psychodynamic understanding, somatic resourcing, and archetype work. When it helps, I explain in plain language how your nervous system actually works.

This isn’t a toolbox. It’s an integrated approach. You don’t have to choose which kind of therapy is right for you. My approach meets you wherever and however your wounds show up.

And, of course, we still talk: before we set up, after we finish a batch of processing, and sometimes in between.

In my approach to therapy, talking it through happens inside the Brainspotting frame. It serves what your body is doing.
