Brainspotting is a powerful treatment method that works by identifying, processing, and releasing core neuro-physiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation, and a variety of other challenging symptoms. It’s different from other therapy models in that it puts the client in control and the therapist acts in a supportive, collaborative role.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and integrate distressing memories and traumatic experiences. It involves a structured eight-phase approach where the therapist uses bilateral stimulation, often through guided eye movements, to help the client reprocess these memories. The goal is to reduce the emotional charge associated with traumatic events, allowing individuals to gain a more adaptive perspective and alleviate symptoms related to PTSD, anxiety, and other trauma-related conditions.

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) is a compassionate, non-pathologizing approach that understands each person as having an inner system made up of “parts.” These parts hold different emotions, beliefs, and protective roles—often developed in response to earlier life experiences. Rather than trying to eliminate or suppress these parts, IFS helps clients build a supportive relationship with them, guided by the calm, curious, and grounded core Self.

In my work, I integrate IFS with other trauma-informed modalities, including Brainspotting, to deepen the healing process. Brainspotting allows the nervous system to access and process stored emotional material, while IFS provides a clear and respectful framework for engaging with the parts that arise during that process. Together, these approaches help clients connect with protective parts, soothe overwhelmed or younger parts, and release patterns that no longer serve them.

By combining IFS and Brainspotting, clients can experience both bottom-up (body-based) and top-down (parts-based) healing—creating lasting change that feels aligned, integrated, and self-led.

DBT, or Dialetical Behavior Therapy, is a type of cognitive therapy that focus on increasing your ability to stay in the present moment, improving your effectiveness in managing stress, building healthy relationships through improved communication and increasing positive emotional experiences.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavior Therapy, is a goal-oriented process which teaches you to identify negative thinking patterns. Thoughts and feelings play a fundamental role in your behavior, CBT uses strategies to promote and sustain your ability for objective, realistic thinking, which improves your happiness in life.
