Brainspotting and Areas of Experience

Brainspotting:
"Brainspotting allows us to harness the brain's natural ability for self-scanning so we can activate, locate, and process the sources of trauma and distress in the body." -David Grand, PHD, creator of Brainspotting
​
I have significant experience working with individuals with trauma histories of all types. I a Certified Brainspotting Pactitioner, which has been an invaluable tool in my work with trauma clients. Brainspotting is a neurological technique which helps decrease emotional reactivity related to trauma. This technique can also be used to help those who are experiencing depression, anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder symptoms, and many other mental health concerns. Brainspotting also tends to lead to more symptom relief than regular therapy interventions in a shorter time frame by accessing deeper processing within the brain. David Grand developed Brainspotting from his many years of experience in utilizing EMDR as a trauma treatment. Brainspotting is a neurobiological tool to help individuals with identifying, locating, and releasing neuropsychological symptoms within the body. For more information about Brainspotting, you can visit the Brainspotting website at: https://brainspotting.com/about-bsp/​

I am also trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This treatment focuses on helping reduce symptoms of trauma, providing psycho-education about trauma, learning cognitive skills, and affect regulation skills. 

I have successfully utilized DBT informed treatment with people who experience relational difficulties, mood regulation difficulties, and difficulty tolerating strong emotions. They may engage in self-harming behaviors as a way to deal with upsetting feelings or events. I work with them develop other ways of coping with these issues as they arise, focusing on decreasing the self-harming over time.
