who it’s for
Brainspotting intensive is for you if…
You’re carrying trauma, anxiety, or emotional pain that hasn’t shifted through talk therapy—and you’re ready for something deeper.
Your schedule is too full for weekly therapy, and you don’t want to wait months to feel better.
You’ve been in therapy before, but you’re still haunted by the same patterns, beliefs, or memories.
Your relationships feel strained because you don’t feel safe or connected—even with people you love.
You’re done just surviving between sessions and want to experience true healing now.
who it’s not for
Brainspotting intensives are not for you if…
You are currently in an active crisis and need more frequent, consistent support.
You’re not yet ready to explore deeper emotional wounds or body-based processing.
You’re looking for a highly structured, talk-based, cognitive therapy model.
You don't yet have a stable support system outside of therapy to lean on before or after intensive work.
together, we will:
explore WHAT’S BENEATH THE SURFACE.
Sometimes, traditional talk therapy can only take us so far. Brainspotting allows us to go beyond the story and access the places in the brain where trauma, stress, and emotional pain are stored. In an intensive setting, you have the time and space to explore without rushing, circling back week after week, or hitting the wall of mental fatigue. These longer sessions open the door to deeper clarity and relief.
IDENTIFY CORE PATTERNS THAT KEEP YOU STUCK.
In extended Brainspotting sessions, the mind and body have the capacity to settle more fully into the work. We can move past surface-level anxiety or looping thoughts to identify emotional blocks, attachment wounds, or trauma responses that have remained stuck—even after years of personal development or therapy. This deeper access allows you to understand the emotional root causes of your symptoms and how they’re impacting your present.
UNCOVER NEW POSSIBILITIES FOR HEALING.
The intensives create a powerful container for transformation—free from daily distractions and the fragmentation of short appointments. With insight and emotional release often comes a new sense of freedom: freedom to move through the world with greater ease, confidence, and emotional clarity. And with my extensive referral network in Santa Cruz County, you’ll have access to additional support—whether you need bodywork, integrative medicine, or energy work to support your process between sessions.

Brainspotting is a brain-body therapy that helps access the deeper parts of the brain where trauma, emotion, and memory live—beyond what talk therapy can reach.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, sessions are quieter and more focused on body sensations than thoughts. We start by identifying an issue you want to explore—like a trigger, emotional pattern, or past experience. Then, using a pointer, I help you find a “brainspot” in your visual field that activates the emotional charge.
From there, your brain and body take the lead. You might notice emotions, physical sensations, or insights as things shift. You don’t have to talk the whole time—just be present with whatever comes up, in a safe and supported space.
-
No. Brainspotting gently works with your brain and body to release stuck trauma—without requiring you to re-tell or re-experience painful memories in detail.

Many PPO insurance plans reimburse a portion of out-of-network therapy. I provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. Please note: a formal diagnosis is required for insurance reimbursement.
I recommend calling your insurance provider to ask:
Do you cover out-of-network therapy?
Will you reimburse multiple hours of therapy in a single day or week?
I’m happy to walk you through this if needed.
