Online Brainspotting Therapy for Texas

You understand your patterns. You can explain exactly why you overwork, people-please or brace for the next crisis. And still, your body reacts before your mind can catch up.

You have read the books, maybe done years of therapy. That gap between knowing and feeling different is where Brainspotting can help.

When Talking Isn't Enough

Brainspotting is a brain-body approach based on a simple idea: where you look affects how you feel. By holding your gaze on specific points while you notice what comes up, we can reach stress and stuck patterns that live below conscious thought. It is not only for major trauma. Many of my clients use it for burnout, anxiety, performance pressure and the kind of chronic stress that builds quietly over years.

A session is often gentler than people expect. There is no pressure to relive anything and no need to find the right words, just space for your brain and body to do what they are built to do. Brainspotting works well online, so you can do this work from home.

How I Work

I pair Brainspotting with talk therapy, CBT, mindfulness and shame resilience as a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator, drawing on nearly thirty years of clinical experience. The free Freedom Compass™ quiz is a helpful starting point to see where you are right now.

I also work with burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome and compassion fatigue, with or without Brainspotting.
