Now Offering Brainspotting

Kim is pleased to offer Brainspotting: a gentle yet powerful therapy that helps people process trauma, anxiety, emotional pain, and other life challenges at a deeper level.

Sometimes our minds understand what has happened, but our bodies and nervous systems continue to carry the impact. Brainspotting helps access these deeper emotional and physical responses, allowing the brain and body to process and heal in ways that may not be possible through talking alone.

Brainspotting can help with trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, emotional overwhelm, grief, relationship wounds, addiction, and feeling stuck in recurring patterns. During a Brainspotting session, a specific eye position, or "brainspot," is identified that connects to the area of the brain and nervous system where emotional experiences may be stored. By mindfully focusing on this spot within the safety of the therapeutic relationship, the brain's natural ability to process and heal can be activated, often leading to deeper emotional resolution, increased regulation, and lasting change.

If you would like to find out more, you can set up a free 15 minute consultation with Kim. She would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

"Many recurring arguments are not really about the surface issue at all. They are often rooted in deeper needs such as feeling valued, respected, safe, or understood. When couples slow down enough to explore what the conflict means emotionally, the conversation shifts from problem-solving to connection-building. Feeling understood is often more powerful than finding the perfect solution."

Check out the article to learn more.

Arguments are a normal and inevitable part of any close relationship. In fact, research shows that conflict itself isn’t what predicts relationship distress — it’s how couples handle conflict that matters most. Drawing on principles from the work of the The Gottman Institute, couples can lear...
