We store trauma in our bodies, nervous systems, and the right side of our brains. Thus, trauma work needs to be rooted in the body and right brain as well. Working within a strong therapeutic relationship, we will help you turn inwards and deepen your connection to your body, allowing for healing and integration of the trauma stored there.

We all have many parts of us - protective parts, parts that manage our life, inner critics, hurt parts, reactive parts. Think of them as sub-personalities, like in the movie “Inside Out”. As you get to know each of your parts, you might come to realize the important role each part plays and eventually even learn to love and accept them, leading to greater understanding and compassion for your self.

Brainspotting is a powerful, focused therapy that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation, and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Brainspotting works with the deep brain and body to access and heal experiences typically out of reach of the conscious mind.

You and your therapist collaborate together to find eye positions known as “brainspots” that are linked to your distress. Mindfully focusing on the brainspot stimulates a deep integrating and healing process within the brain.

Brainspotting has been shown to be effective for physical and emotional trauma/distress, medical and accident trauma, PTSD, anxiety and panic, phobias, addictions, cravings, ADHD, and chronic pain.

Sometimes, before we can tackle the root of an issue, we need the day to day stuff to feel easier. DBT offers practical skills to help you cope better with overwhelming emotions and distress, manage anxiety, and learn to be mindful and present in your day to day. This includes crisis survival, managing urges (e.g., self-harm, substance use), and suicidal thoughts.
