Brainspotting in La Grange and throughout Illinois
You Haven’t Been the Same Since It Happened…
Maybe it was a major life event, a failure that hit harder than expected, or something from your past that you’ve never quite shaken. You’ve pushed through, kept moving forward, but no matter how much success you achieve, something still feels off. The tension in your body, the restless mind, the feeling that you’re always on edge—it’s like part of you is stuck in a loop you can’t break.
Brainspotting is designed to help you process and move past what’s holding you back, even when you can’t quite put it into words. Whether it’s lingering stress, anxiety, or a sense that you’re not performing at your best, this approach can help you clear the mental roadblocks and reclaim your focus.
What is Brainspotting?
Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based therapy that taps into the way your brain stores unprocessed experiences. By using specific eye positions (or “brainspots”), we access deeper parts of your brain where stress, trauma, and self-doubt are stuck. Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting allows you to process what’s beneath the surface without needing to rehash every detail. This makes it especially effective for high achievers who are used to pushing through instead of slowing down to process.
How can brainspotting help?
For entrepreneurs, executives, or high performers:
If you’re an entrepreneur, executive, or high achiever, success hasn’t quieted the self-doubt or eased the pressure. Brainspotting helps you:
Break Through Mental Barriers – Overcome imposter syndrome, performance anxiety, and the stress that keeps you stuck.
Enhance Focus & Productivity – Clear distractions, regulate your stress response, and perform at your highest level.
Prevent Burnout – Shift from constantly pushing through to operating with balance and clarity.
For anyone struggling with stress or trauma:
Brainspotting is just as powerful for those carrying the weight of past experiences. If you feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm, Brainspotting can help you:
Heal Without Rehashing Everything – Access deeper processing without needing to talk through every detail.
Regulate Your Nervous System – Feel more grounded, less reactive, and in control of your emotions.
Release the Weight of the Past – Move forward without the constant pull of old wounds.
What to Expect in a Brainspotting Session
Brainspotting sessions are different from traditional talk therapy. Instead of analyzing every detail, we find the brainspots connected to your stress, anxiety, or past experiences. As your brain processes, you’ll start to feel a shift—whether that’s a release of tension, more clarity, or simply feeling lighter.
I guide the process, but your brain does the work naturally. This means that even if you don’t fully understand what’s holding you back, Brainspotting can help you move through it.
Feeling overwhelmed by stress or burnout but pushing through anyway
Struggling with anxiety, frustration, or anger that feels hard to control
Knowing you “should” feel happy but instead feeling disconnected or unfulfilled
Experiencing pressure to succeed, provide, or be “the strong one”
Avoiding emotions or past experiences, only to have them show up in ways you didn’t expect
Wanting better relationships—with your partner, kids, family, or even yourself
What happened is behind you—let's leave it there.
Brainspotting can help you…
Process past experiences that are still influencing your present actions, whether at work or in your personal life.
Clear mental blocks and overcome self-doubt, so you can perform at your best, both personally and professionally.
Calm the constant buzz of anxiety and stress, bringing you back into balance and focus.
Break through the barriers holding you back from achieving your next level, without needing to talk through every detail.
Let go of the things you haven’t been able to move past, so you can finally stop carrying the weight of what’s been holding you back.
Frequently asked questions about Brainspotting
FAQs
-
Brainspotting therapy is a brain-body based approach to healing that accesses the deeper parts of your brain where trauma and emotional blocks are stored. Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting works with your nervous system to process trauma without needing to rehash painful memories. This makes it especially effective for moms who feel like they’re repeating parenting patterns they promised they wouldn’t.
-
That’s totally okay. Brainspotting doesn’t require you to come in with a clear story or goal. We use your eye position to help locate the brain spots that hold unprocessed emotion or trauma. This allows us to gently explore what's underneath your parenting stress, emotional reactivity, or overwhelm—even when it’s hard to put into words.

No. One of the most powerful aspects of Brainspotting therapy is that it works even when you don’t talk much at all. You can heal without telling your whole story. This can be especially helpful for moms who are carrying unspoken grief, complex trauma, or parenting triggers they don’t fully understand yet.
