Brainspotting Therapists in New York, NY
My work is informed by training in sex therapy, Gottman Method, EFT, brainspotting, martial arts and other somatic approaches.
Are you seeking a roadmap to exceptional, deeply fulfilling relationships and a more authentic sexuality? You’re driven, self-aware, and accomplished — yet certain patterns persist despite your insight and effort. Intimacy may feel distant, desire diminished, or disagreements repeat without real resolution. Perhaps you’re navigating cultural complexity, non-monogamy, or an increasing sense of disconnection — from your partner or from yourself. Outwardly, things may appear successful, yet something essential feels unresolved. A part of you recognizes that more depth, clarity, and aliveness are possible.

EMDR, brainspotting and person-centered expressive arts help people connect with their authentic self.
I work with people who are trying to find a sense of who they are. I believe each of us is born with an authentic self that guides us on our path and has the innate capacity for healing. When that authentic self is not nurtured enough by our environment, we develop defenses as protection. Patterns of behavior, ways of perceiving the world, and anxiety often result. Through our work together, I help you strengthen your authentic self and explore whether the defenses are still needed. I am interested in your strengths as well as your struggles, and my aim is for you to begin to feel grounded, whole and centered.

You are strong, capable, and self-aware, which is exactly why it can be confusing to find yourself repeating patterns that leave you feeling depleted. You no longer feel like you. You wonder if you're the problem. And you are burned out from overgiving, struggling to say no, and feeling unseen.

Brainspotting Therapists
How does brainspotting work?
Brainspotting works by using eye positioning to identify and process traumatic memories so that a client is better able to move forward and live with less fear. The theory behind brainspotting is that by identifying where a person looks when thinking of traumatic memories, a therapist will be able to guide them to focus on that spot and work with the client to get them out of the “fight, flight, freeze” response associated with the traumatic memory.
Is brainspotting an evidence-based therapy?
Brainspotting is a theory-based alternative therapy. It is one of the newest forms of treatment, so very little research has been completed that examines the mechanism by which it works. The theory behind brainspotting is that eye position can be linked to areas of the brain that store and process memory.
How effective is brainspotting?
Because it is such a new treatment, the effectiveness of brainspotting cannot be quantified. Some people have found it to be effective on its own, or in conjunction with other types of therapy. It is considered an alternative therapy, and it is popular with people for whom more traditional therapies have proven ineffective.
How long does brainspotting take to work?
A typical brainspotting session will last between 60 to 90 minutes. There is no required number of sessions needed to complete brainspotting therapy, but in many cases it is delivered over the course of about six sessions. Clients are encouraged to rate their level of distress prior to a session and again following a session, and to track progress.
