Heal Trauma at Its Source with Brainspotting Therapy in Michigan
Find lasting relief from trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress with Brainspotting. This neuroscience-based therapy helps you process unresolved pain at the deepest level—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Are You Feeling Stuck in Emotional Pain?
Maybe you’ve tried talk therapy before but still feel something unresolved. Trauma, anxiety, and stress can be deeply embedded in the brain, affecting your daily life in ways you might not even realize.
Do you experience overwhelming emotions that seem to come out of nowhere?
Have you struggled with chronic stress, PTSD, or emotional triggers that don’t seem to fade?
Does it feel like no matter how much you talk about it, something deeper is still holding you back?
You’re not alone. Your pain is real, and it doesn’t mean you’re broken. Your brain stores trauma in ways that traditional therapy can’t always reach. But Brainspotting offers a different path—one that helps you process and release emotional pain without needing to relive every detail.
Brainspotting is a powerful therapy technique that allows your brain to process and heal trauma at a neurological level. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which relies on conscious thought, Brainspotting accesses deeper parts of the brain where trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress are stored.
Works With Your Brain’s Natural Healing Ability: Using specific eye positions, Brainspotting helps you access and release unprocessed emotions.
Bypasses the Thinking Mind: Instead of relying on verbal processing, this therapy lets your brain resolve trauma on its own terms.
Effective for a Wide Range of Issues: From PTSD and anxiety to chronic stress and performance blocks, Brainspotting helps you break free from patterns that hold you back.
One of the most meaningful aspects of my work is helping people access a part of themselves they thought was lost. Healing happens when we feel truly seen, accepted, and safe in our experiences.
What Is Brainspotting and How Does It Work?
Who Can Benefit from Brainspotting Therapy?
Brainspotting is a highly effective approach for people struggling with:
Unresolved Trauma & PTSD: Whether from childhood, relationships, or other life events, trauma can remain stuck in the body and brain.
Anxiety & Chronic Stress: When everyday stress feels overwhelming, Brainspotting can help regulate your nervous system.
Relationship & Intimacy Struggles: Emotional blocks, past wounds, and unprocessed experiences can impact your ability to connect.

Performance Anxiety & Creative Blocks: Whether in work, sports, or personal growth, Brainspotting helps clear mental barriers.
This approach is beneficial for anyone who feels stuck—those who have tried other forms of therapy but haven’t found the relief they need. I offer services in Sex Therapy, Couples Therapy, and more.
