Are fears or phobias stressing you out?

Maybe you avoid certain places, situations, or activities because the thought of facing them fills you with dread, or perhaps you've structured your entire life around not encountering the thing you fear. You may be experiencing panic attacks just thinking about your phobia, or simply feeling ashamed that something "irrational" has this much power over you.

Whatever it is that you're experiencing, you're beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:

  • Missing out on experiences—travel, career opportunities, social events—because your phobia limits where you can go

  • Feeling embarrassed when you have to explain why you can't do something others find simple

  • Enduring situations that cause you great anxiety 

  • Watching your world get smaller as you avoid more and more to prevent triggering your fear

What If You Could Actually Be Free—Not Just "Manage" Your Fear?

This Is Why I Use Brainspotting and EMDR—Because You Deserve More Than Just "Coping"

These aren't just different techniques. They're a completely different kind of healing—one that goes deeper than talk therapy alone. Brainspotting and EMDR access the stuck part directly.

We're not trying to convince your brain that you're safe. We're helping it actually reprocess and release the fear that got stuck there.

Whether you’ve had scary past experiences, a panic attack on the plane, a dog lunging at you as a child, a bad car accident, or whether the fear developed gradually, Brainspotting and EMDR can help your body release the fear.

You’ve tried forcing yourself onto planes, white-knuckling through the panic. Made yourself drive on the highway, heart pounding the entire time. Pushed yourself near the thing that terrifies you, hoping that this time, somehow, the fear would fade.

But it didn't. You might be able to do the thing, but it still makes you anxious. 

What if you didn't have to endure it anymore? What if your nervous system could actually let it go?

Phobia Therapy Can Help

This Happens Faster Than You Think

With Brainspotting and EMDR, most phobias resolve in 3-12 sessions.

This isn't about building courage or learning to cope. It's about your brain releasing the fear pattern that's been running your life.

It may feel impossible now, but you can face what terrifies you without panic. You can reclaim the experiences and opportunities you've been missing. You can feel confident and free instead of controlled by fear

Phobia therapy helps you do 3 things:

  2. Desensitize your nervous system's fear response using Brainspotting and EMDR, so your brain stops treating normal situations as life-threatening emergencies

  3. Build confidence and practical coping tools that allow you to face your fear and prove to yourself that you can do this

Many clients are surprised by how much calmer they feel about their phobia after just a few sessions.

My goal is always to help you find freedom from your phobia as quickly as possible—not to keep you in therapy indefinitely.
